location issue

[Sergey Bochenkov]

http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpCoreModule#alias

This directive assigns a path to be used for the indicated location. Note 
that it may look similar to the root directive, but the document root 
doesn't change, just the file system path used for the request. 

For example: 

    location  /i/ {
        alias  /spool/w3/images/;
    }

The request "/i/top.gif" will return the file "/spool/w3/images/top.gif". 
It is possible to use variables in the replacement path. 

The alias directive cannot be used inside a regex-specified location. If you
need to do this you must use a combination of rewrite and root.
