Try_files for cache

Server NGINX
1

I am using this config to try the url, if not found, try the same url
under
/_cache/ if not, use the router at index.php

location / {
  try_files $uri /_cache$uri /index.php;
}

I dont try the above for those kind of files, so I want to get a 404
when
they are not founded.

location ~* \.(css|js|jpg|png|gif|swf|html?|txt|sql|doc|pdf|xls)$ {
}
  • Is there a better way to do the same?
  • how can I put the _cache folder outside webroot? Is it possible to
    serve files outside root folder?
  • this configuration will break my passenger routes?
