Try looking into error log and full config, and make sure you've reloaded configuration after changing it. With the config you've posted, i.e.: location / { root html; index index.html index.htm; location /test/file.html { deny all; } } location /delete { root delete; } and assuming there are no other locations defined, expected results are: request to /foo maps to file <prefix>/html/foo request to /test/files.html returns 403 request to /delete/foo maps to file <prefix>/delete/delete/foo See here for documentation: http://nginx.org/r/location http://nginx.org/r/root -- Maxim Dounin http://nginx.org/en/donation.html _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
