Hi,
I have this rule in my nginx config file
location ~* \/(fileA.txt|fileB.txt)$ {
return 404 'nothing here';
}
but it’s not working
but
location /fileA.txt {
return 404 'nothing here';
}
is working…
Any idea what’s wrong ?
Thanks.

Never mind, I understood my mistake… This nginx built didn’t come with ngx_http_rewrite_module so return will not works.Apparently ngx_http_rewrite_module “module” is installedby default with nginx… damn thay should use diffrent terms for what could be install or not at compile time…
You might have another location block before it that catches the route.
I ran into something similar and the docs didn’t make sense. This link helped figure things out.
Thank you @ramble81@lemmy.zip 👍
Post saved !
You aren’t escaping your periods. Try like this:
location ~* \/(fileA|fileB)\.txt$ { return 404 'nothing here'; }Thanks @elbucho@lemmy.world
I’ve tried
location ~* \/(fileA\.txt|fileB\.md)$ { return 404 'nothing here'; }but still not matching :'(
.md or .txt?
.md is correct, it’s a test.
Finally it works as it should I update my old nginx version to newest freenginx and read Thoroughly the
locationdocumentation and this post thanks to @ramble81@lemmy.zipActually I don’t think the error lay in the regex.
because
location /fileA.txt { return 404 'nothing here'; }Does not works either…
