Nginx location block not serving static file

  • 772

I am trying to server data from my location block.

 location ~ ^/(archivefiles) {
     root /web/htdocs/archivefiles/;
  }

When a user visits. http://www.example.com/archivefiles/sports/football/1981.pdf the page errors. I have tried the following combinations in the location block with no success.

root /web/htdocs/archivefiles;
root /web/htdocs/archivefiles/$1;
root /web/htdocs/$1;

I have looked at the documentation and it looks as if i am using everything correctly.

nginx
