Thanks Maxim, that's exactly what I did do, as my follow-up post mentioned. All sorted now and working wonderfully. There is one other thing, though...At the moment, I have two location blocks with identical content, in order to match two different patterns. One matches all URLs starting with certain strings, e.g. location ~ ^/(abc|def){ The other is an exact match for the top level page: location = /{ Ideally I would like to use a single pattern which combined both. I thought to use regex end markers instead of the exact match, but I'm not sure if it's syntactically correct (and this is a very busy server i don't want to mess about with too much experimenting). So would something like this work? location ~ (^/abc|^/def/|^/$) John John _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
