I have set up Nginx as a reverse proxy for Node and to serve my static files and user uploaded images.

Everything is working beautifully except that I can't understand why Nginx can't find my .zip files. Here is my nginx.conf.

include tcp.conf;
Tcp.conf contains settings that allow Nginx to proxy websockets. I don't believe anything contained within it is relevant to this question. I also want to add that I want the zip files to be a forced download.

When I look at my error log I find that Nginx is looking for files in a location other than my route.

2012/11/23 13:50:50 [error] 14325#0: *774 open() "/usr/local/nginx/html/html/gamezip/G3zZ4pBq0BCeKb3o13EPKC4AaT63JvbnwOwQsV4p.zip" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 121.140.215.179, server: static.ooparoopa.com, request: "GET /html/gamezip/G3zZ4pBq0BCeKb3o13EPKC4AaT63JvbnwOwQsV4p.zip HTTP/1.1", host: "static.ooparoopa.com"

Above is the entry from my error.log. Also here is my tcp.conf which is used to proxy websockets. Could this have anything to do with this not working?


tcp {

upstream socketio {

check interval=3000 rise=2 fall=5 timeout=1000;
}

server {

so_keepalive on;

}
}

I have been scratching my head over this all morning I think there must be something simple that I have missed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
