Removing blank location block causes 404 errors

Server NGINX
1

I’m new to nginx and had this in my conf file which I had copied some
time ago but never filled it in and continued building a test page with
images, css and javascript:

location ~*
^.+.(css|js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|gz|svg|svgz|ttf|otf|woff|eot|mp4|ogg|ogv|webm|pdf)$
{
}

Today, I deleted that block and now the images, css and javascript files
are all returned a 404. I don’t understand what’s going on.
I’m using version 1.5.11

What request do you make?

What response do you want to get? (“The contents of this file.”)

Which location in your new config file is used to process that request?

What config is in that location?
