Differences between root and alias in nginxlocation

: This article mainly introduces the differences between root and alias in nginxlocation. For more information about PHP tutorials, see. Today, I finally figured out the root role in location configuration and the role of alias. Their differences are also clear!

Location/img/{alias/var/www/image/;} # If you follow the preceding configuration, when accessing the files in the/img/directory, ningx will automatically go to the/var/www/image/directory to find the file

Location/img/{root/var/www/image;} # If you follow this configuration, when accessing files in the/img/directory, nginx will find the file in the/var/www/image/img/Directory.]

Alias is the definition of a directory alias, while root is the definition of the top-level Directory.

I always thought that root refers to the/var/www/image directory, which should be/var/www/image/img/

Another important difference is that alias must end with "/". Otherwise, the file cannot be found... Root is dispensable ~~
