Hello everyone,

I built a WordPress site working fine. The address is "http://mydomain.com" for example.

Then I would like to indicate "http://mydomain.com/data/" to /home/data/index.html .
So I modified the following /etc/nginx/default.d/locations.conf file.

$ cat locations.conf
location ~* /wp-config.php {
deny all;
}

# Beginning of Insertion this time
location /data/ {
root /home/data;
index index.html;
}
# End of Insertion this time

location / {
index index.php index.html;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}

rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;

location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {
expires 24h;
log_not_found off;
}
$

After restarting nginx I accessed "http://mydomain.com/data/".
Then browser showed /usr/share/nginx/html/404.html file.

The permission and owner of /home/data/index.html is the following.

$ LANG=en ls -la /home/data
total 4
drwxrwxrwx 2 nginx nginx 24 Jan 5 11:52 .
drwxr-xr-x. 5 root root 42 Jan 5 11:37 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nginx nginx 142 Dec 15 18:30 index.html
$

How should I write the configuration file?
Please help me.

I didn't show information enough.

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf is below.

$ cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

# Load configuration files for the default server block.
include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf;

error_page 404 /404.html;
location = /40x.html {
}

error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
}
}
}

Somebody, please help me.

location /data/ {
root /home/data;

Becomes /home/data/data
