</span>So, you need to pass to fastcgi anything except /, /index.html,<br>
and anything starting with /css/, /images/, and /js/, right?<br>
<br>
Most simple solution would be exactly this, by defining a catch-all<br>
"location /" to pass anything to fastcgi, and explicitly excluding<br>
required paths using additional locations:<br>
<br>
root /var/www/my-project/html;<br>
index index.html;<br>
<br>
location / {<br>
fastcgi_pass ...<br>
include fastcgi_params;<br>
}<br>
<br>
location = / {}<br>
location = /index.html {}<br>
location /css/ {}<br>
location /images/ {}<br>
location /js/ {}<br>
