Help with location and order

Server NGINX
1

I have this config, I need to use jpg in /data/abc/files/ but when I
browse it nginx will use file jpg in /var/www/images (second condition),
how to fix it?

root /var/www/images;

location = /abc/files/ {
alias /data/abc/files/;
break;
}

location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|swf|flv)$ {
access_log off;
expires 1d;
}

root /var/www/images;

location = /abc/files/ {

will only match address /abc/files/. Remove =.

    alias /data/abc/files/;
    break;
}

location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|swf|flv)$ {
    access_log  off;
    expires   1d;
}

but any jpg will probably get in here anyway, so I guess using
location ~* ^/abc/files/(.)$ {
alias /data/abs/files/$1;
}
is better. Also make sure to put that block above the location ~
.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|swf|flv)$ { } block.

  1. “break” is useless here and only wastes CPU cycles.
  2. you may use “root” instead of “alias”
  3. “=” is exact match, but not prefix match.
  4. “^~” disables testing regexes, thus

location ^~ /abc/files/ {
root /data/;
}
