Checks the
existence of files in the specified order and uses the first found file for
request processing; The path to a file is constructed from the file parameter
according to the root and alias directives.
try_files
intercept the request, if the first argument exist relative to root directory,
it serves it, else check for the 2nd argument relative to root directory if it
exists serves it and son on. If no file exists relative to root directory until
the last one, then the uri (Last Argument) will be served by NGINX.
Syntax:
try_files
file ... uri;
try_files
file ... =code;
Let’s see
it with an example.
Step 1:
Create a directory
welcome under root folder /.
Create
greet.html file under root folder.
greet.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Good Day</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Good Day Dude!!!!!!</h1>
</body>
</html>
Step 2:
Update nginx.conf
file with below content.
nginx.conf
events {
}
http {
include mime.types;
server {
listen 9090;
server_name localhost;
root /welcome;
try_files /greet.html /welcome;
location = /welcome{
return 200 "Hello Welcome to NGINX";
}
}
}
Step 3:
validate and reload
the configuration.
$sudo nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
$
$sudo nginx -s reload
Step 4: Open the url ‘http://localhost:9090/’ in browser, you can see below screen.
Now rename
the file greet.html to welcomeMe.html and hit the url http://localhost:9090/ again, you will see below kind of
screen.
$mv
/welcome/greet.html /welcome/welcomeMe.html
