However, I know that "root" will append the URI to the path, so it will try /apps/grant/grant/ and /apps/grant/employ/ when looking for files. When I use "alias", it seems that try_files tries looking for index.php in the context of "location /" on each.<br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>The only way I can seem to resolve this is by creating a symbolic link at /apps/grant/grant/ and /apps/grant/employ/ pointing back to /apps/rant/, which I do not want. I just want each location in each server to see /apps/grant/ as the root, and for try_files to process the index.php file in the base of that location last.<br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>I have Lua compiled in, so I'm not sure if there are any tricks I can do with that to get this to work.
