(turn) The difference between Nginx root and alias instructions

Nginx configuration with two specified directory execution, root and Alias

location/img/{    alias/var/www/image/;}
#若按照上述配置的话, when accessing the files in the/img/directory, NINGX will automatically go to/var/www/image/directory to find files

location/img/{    root/var/www/image;}
#若按照这种配置的话, when you access files in the/img/directory, Nginx will go to the/var/www/image/img/directory to find files. ]

Alias is the definition of a directory alias, and Root is the definition of the topmost directory.

Another important difference is that alias must end with "/", or the file will not be found ... and Root is dispensable ~ ~
