Hello,

For some reason the following nginx configuration snippet doesn't work
as expected, try_files seems to be ignored. When / is requested (or any
other URI which points to a file which doesn't exist), nginx's default
503 page is returned instead of the existing index.html. Requesting
/index.html works correctly.

location @maintenance {
root /var/nginx/$hostid-maintenance;
index index.html;
try_files $uri $uri/ / =500;
}

error_page 503 @maintenance;

if ( -d $document_root/$hostid-maintenance ) {
return 503;
}

Any thoughts? Running nginx version 1.0.12 here.

Kind regards
