Hi Adam,

Why not use @named location directly?

error_page 503 @unavailable;
location @unavailable {
alias /absolute/path/to/file;
}


Notice the path is not related to document root.

Hi Francis,

Thank you for your response. After some further reading I think now I
get the processing cycle. I would rather not create a separate root
for one file, so I settled with the following:

location = /unavailable.html {
return 503;
}

location @unavailable {
try_files /unavailable.html =500;
}

try_files $uri =503;

error_page 503 @unavailable;

Thanks,
Ádám
