Serving a default image with nginx

view story
linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I have the following configuration in nginx: location /static/ { root /srv/kose/; expires 2w; access_log off; } location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8089; } If a file is not found in /static/, I want to serve a default image, and not proxy_pass to 8089. Currently, it looks for the file in the root for static, if it cannot find it, it tries the proxy. I have tried the following, but it doesn't work. How can I tell nginx to serve the default image? I have also tried try_files to no avail. location /static/ { root /srv/kose/; expires 2w; (HowTos)

My nginx.conf entry looks like this...

I'm testing a setup where I'd like to have nginx serve up static media and proxy all other requests to another backend. My configuration looks like this:

location /media {alias /var/httpd/media;} location / {proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;}

However, if a request is made for a non-existing media resource, e.g.

We are using nginx to serve static content and apache for dynamic content.

#Set a default server that simply proxies all requests to apache server { listen 80 default_server; server_name _;

location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; } }

Is the the best way to proxy everything to apache if for some reason a ser
