Named location explicit config

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

Is it possible to route specific types directly to a named location
without using error_page?

e.g.

location .php$ {
@phpapp;
}

That doesn’t work, but is there any way to do this?

Thanks very much,
Igor

Of course, I meant to type

location ~ .php$ {

ahem!

OK, thanks for the information.

Is there another way to do what I’m trying to do though? I have this
config:

location / {
error_page 404 = @phpapp;
}

location @phpapp {
proxy_pass http://x.x.x.x;
proxy_set_header … # etc
}

so that dynamic stuff which isn’t found is routed to Apache (some PHP
code relies on some Apache features).

But I don’t want to have to duplicate all the proxy stuff inside
(an)other location block(s).

I could put it in an include, but it would be nice to be able to do it
in config directly somehow.

Thanks,
Igor
