I don't think it's explicitly documented anywhere except in<br>
CHANGES for 0.6.7 (<a href="http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES</a>):<br>
<br>
*) Change: now the paths specified in the "include",<br>
"auth_basic_user_file", "perl_modules", "ssl_certificate",<br>
"ssl_certificate_key", and "ssl_client_certificate" directives are<br>
relative to directory of nginx configuration file nginx.conf, but not<br>
to nginx prefix directory.<br>
<br>
Basically, there are two types of paths in nginx configuration:<br>
<br>
- configuration-specific paths (include, SSL certs/keys,<br>
auth_basic_user_file - that is, things that naturally a part of<br>
configuration), resolved relative to nginx.conf file;<br>
<br>
- all other paths, resolved from prefix.<br>
<br>
This should be documented somewhere, and we already have a ticket<br>
for a related question, <a href="https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/781" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/781</a>.<br>
