- root /usr/local/nginx/html/site1;
+ alias /usr/local/nginx/html/site1/;

Directive "root" defines path to a server root (i.e. to "/"
uri), and filename calculated as <root> + <uri>.

Directive "alias" specifies path to a matched location, and
filename calculated as <alias> + <part of uri not matched by
location>.
