Nginx location issue
- by dave
I'm trying to set a longer (30 day) 'expires' header for my (images only) in the /misc-stuff/ directory.
This is what I'm using for my site :
# Serve static files directly from nginx
location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp|ico|pdf|flv|swf|exe|html|htm|txt|css|js) {
add_header Cache-Control public;
add_header Cache-Control must-revalidate;
expires 7d;
}
I want to be able to keep that code in to handle regular site images, but create a new block to handle the /misc-stuff/ directory.
I have tried :
location ^~ /misc-stuff/ {
...
}
The problem I'm having now is that my backup .php files in that directory show up as plain text if someone tries to access it.
How do I set it up so ONLY .gif images in the /misc-stuff/ directory are effected?
