Nginx - configure location regex for all static file in sub alias -

i've been trying 1 day no luck configure nginx proxy reverse apache. expect nginx serve static file, , rest passed apache.

it's not hard achieve if site resides on root domain name.

for example, i've set:

www.mydomain.com  location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|js|ico|xml|rss|txt)$ {      root /path/to/mysite; }  location / {      proxy_pass 127.0.0.1:8080;      proxy_set_header host $host;      proxy_set_header x-forwarded-for $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;      proxy_set_header x-real-ip $remote_addr; } 

---

now problem arises want configure site within alias example: www.mydomain.com/site1

does know how achieve same purpose?

i tried below configuration doesn't work:

location /site1 {     location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|js|ico|xml|rss|txt)$ {             root /path/to/anothersite1;     }      proxy_pass apache:8080;      proxy_set_header host $host;      proxy_set_header x-forwarded-for $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;      proxy_set_header x-real-ip $remote_addr; } 

the problem 'root' directive doesn't replace /site1 uri. example, request to

www.mydomain.com/site1/folder/pic.jpg 

will handled opening file:

/path/to/anothersite1/site1/folder/pic.jpg; 

instead of:

/path/to/anothersite1/folder/pic.jpg 

i appreciate on this. i've tried replace 'root' directive 'alias' still no luck.

thanks beforehand,

try add rewrite directive in sub location. this:

location /site1 {     location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|js|ico|xml|rss|txt)$ {         rewrite "^/site1/(.*)$" /$1 break;         root /path/to/anothersite1;     }      proxy_pass apache:8080;     proxy_set_header host $host;     proxy_set_header x-forwarded-for $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;     proxy_set_header x-real-ip $remote_addr; }
