Nginx has a root folder let's say /var/www/mysite1/

I have a file in /var/www/ that I need to be able to serve. This file sometime exists, sometime does not. If the file is not there, by default nginx is returning a 404. How can I set up a different response code, or a 301 redirection ?

location /myfile.txt { alias /var/www/myfile.txt; }

  • I know the try uri command, but it tries a url path. My file is in a parent folder of the root so I need to use an alias Commented Jun 6, 2020 at 6:07
