The "root" directive is to configure filesystem paths.  If you 
want nginx to proxy requests to another URL, you have to use 
proxy_pass.  See details at http://nginx.org/r/proxy_pass.

The error message suggests that your nginx binary was compiled 
without the PCRE library.  You have to recompile nginx if you want 
it to support regexes.
