Hi there,

The docs are at http://nginx.org/r/location

In this case, you want "=".

A request for /robots.txt will match the second location there.

> location /robots.txt {
> location ~* \.(txt|ini|xml|zip|rar)$ {

A request for /robots.txt will still match the second location there.

Change the first location to be

  location = /robots.txt

and it should all Just Work.

Cheers,
