I have this server block:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name admin.app;
    root /opt/project/public/src/;

    charset utf-8;

    location ~ ^/dashboard/?(.*)$ {
       alias /opt/project/dashboard/src;
       try_files /$1 /testindex.html;
    }

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

    access_log off;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/project.app-error.log debug;
    rewrite_log on;

}

and this dir structure:

/opt/project/dashboard/src/
    test.svg
    testindex.html

When I go to http://localhost/dashboard/test.svg it works fine, but if I goto http://localhost/dashboard/testing I want it to serve /opt/project/dashboard/src/ but instead the debug shows this:

2017/06/16 19:36:11 [debug] 385#0: *46 http request line: "GET /dashboard/testing HTTP/1.1"

2017/06/16 19:36:11 [debug] 385#0: *46 http filename: "/opt/project/public/src/testindex.html"

(relevant parts of log only for brevity)

And it gives a 404 (or will serve the wrong file if I do put it into public/src). It shows it tested the existing testindex.html file, but then goes off redirects and tries to serve it from the public/src dir. I don't want it to serve anything from public/src at that path. Why won't it send the testindex.html in dashboard/src? I've been struggling with this for hours trying many different configurations.

EDIT: I changed the try_files to: try_files /$1 /dashboard/testindex.html;. This was the result:

2017/06/16 20:04:08 [debug] 464#0: *65 trying to use file: "/dashboard/testindex.html" "/opt/project/dashboard/src/dashboard/testindex.html"

And it seems to be working, but I don't understand what's happening, it's still doing the redirect, but it's looking at the wrong path, so not sure how it's getting it right or what's up with it. @confused
