I have one "location" container that servers static content:
location ~ \.(html|htm|xml|css|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|pdf|ppt|txt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf|js)$
and another "location" container that uses a backend apache server to serve PHP file requests:
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8008;
Are the "location" containers read in the order that they appear in the configuration file? In the example above would the static location be read before the proxy_pass container, insuring that the static content "html" files would be served before a "php" file from the back proxy server?
I am trying to insure the proxy server does not serve php files that may already exist as html files generated by WP Super Cache in Wordpress.
All the best,
Todd
