Hi guys.

Thanks for replying. I'm almost there now. Now I can access the directory, but when I access the file I get 404 again, while the file already exists on that directory. Is there anything I need to setup?

Thanks in advance

Okay done with it. :-) Instead of using the about configuration, I just use wildcards for every static files as stated in the docs as such:


Code:
---------
# serve static files
    location ~ ^/(images|javascript|js|css|flash|media|static)/  {
      root    /var/www/virtual/big.server.com/htdocs;
      expires 30d;
    }
---------
