How to add a new directory under domain root?

Server NGINX
1

Hello

I have a folder titled images folder in www root, intending to hold some
images.

However, the folder is not visible when I try to look at images in it.

e.g.

http://192.168.1.68/imagesfolder/
– gives a 404 Not Found error.

myimage
– gives a broken image

The root (/usr/share/nginx/www) works perfectly though. Even the image
shows up clearly if I put it in the root folder.

Do you know how I can fix this/ I have been changing the folder name
and permissions to no avail. I was kind of groping in the dark with the
locations directive too – I have no much knowledge in that area. I
have pasted the configuration file below. I added the last location
directive shown and then reloaded the configuration file and restarted
nginx as shown. Any guidance is much appreciated.

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx reload
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart

Thanks!

Just for the record, things seem to be back to normal when I change the
folder name from images to img. That`s how I resolved this issue –
until the nginx or css Gods deem otherwise (I tend to lean toward the
former though).

Best wishes for a New Year filled with Peace, Prosperity and Happiness!
