Serving a default image with nginx
- by ustun
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;
access_log off;
error_page 404 /srv/static/defaultimage.jpg;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8089;
}
