Location and access_log off;

Server NGINX
1

Hello,

I tried to turn off static file logging using this:

    location ~* .(css|js|gif|jpg|jpeg|ico)$ {
        access_log off;
    }

It turned the logging off, that part worked. But it also didn’t serve
any of these files anymore. Same effect was when I tried to redirect
static file log to another file - again no images on web page.

I tried this with 0.7.61 and 0.8.9 versions.

What could be wrong?

Thanks!

Excellent, both versions work. Thanks.

My problem was, that I had the root directive inside ‘location / {}’, so
the other location didn’t pick that up.

Hi,

Looks like it is trying to search that file from .

You should add “root” inside

    location ~* .(css|js|gif|jpg|jpeg|ico)$ {
        access_log off;
        root  /path/to/files;
    }

    location ~* .(css|js|gif|jpg|jpeg|ico)$ {
      access_log off;
      root  /path/to/files;
    }

What is in error_log ?

or put the root outside

root /path/to/root;

location ~* … {
…
}
