Location in NGINX?

Question

Nginx

I've been suffering for 3 days, I tried different options - all in vain. The last hope is for you)
How to implement locations in nginx like this:

mysite.com               ->  /var/www/main
mysite.com/любой_текст   ->  /var/www/qwerty

DECISION

Thanks to everyone (in particular @Lynn ).

server {
    root /var/www/qwerty;
    location = / {
        root /var/www/main;
        rewrite ^ /index.html break;
    }
}

Answer 1

Judging by the comments, nothing works for you because you need the index.html file, not just /var/www/main and you forgot that the index module does an internal redirect.
This is how it should work:

server {
  root /var/www/qwerty;
  location = / {
    root /var/www/main;
    rewrite ^ /index.html break;
  }

Answer 2

location = / {root /var/www/main;}
location / {root /var/www/qwerty;}

Answer 3

I don’t even remember, somewhere I saw among the software for monitoring the setting of hosts, rights and other nginx configs through the browser.
Check out pcp.io or munin . In general, nginx configs can be easily generated by yourself, just take a sample from /etc/nginx and put everything in /etc/nginx/conf.d.
And after all the changes service nginx restart.
The script for bash is elementary, you can throw it in an hour using only sed and perl or even on awk, it will work no worse than Denver.

Answer 4

location = / {
  root /var/www/main;
  try_files /index.html =404;
}

location / {
  /var/www/qwerty;
  try_files /index.html =404;
}
