debugging - location directives

[Chris Cortese]

This is basically a followup to my last post but I have some general 
questions now.

I determined that in my config (and this seems to be Windoze only 
because my Ubuntu version works fine), the location directives I've used 
are just not getting hit.

1.  The order of the location directives does not matter--true?  I have 
tried changing my order, but no luck.

1.a.  What happens if two location directives are equivalent in terms of 
pattern matching?  Then maybe order does matter?  BTW, this is not my 
issue but I would like to know.

2.  What's the best way to debug which location directive is being used 
for a given request?

3.  Are there any good docs for using the debug feature of logging?  
Verbose description of the various log messages?  Maybe this is in the 
wiki and I can't find it, or else maybe it could be in the wiki in the 
future?


Thanks!
Chris

Once again, here is my config.  In Windoze I can't get any of my static 
assets (/images, /css, /js) to load and my motivation for the above 
questions.

server {
  listen   *:80;
  server_name  jobsite.xpdesktop;

  access_log  logs/jobsite.access.log;
  error_log  logs/jobsite.error.log;

  root /cygwin/home/Chris/www/live/jobsite/trunk/html/public;
  index index.php index.html;

# serve static files directly
        location ~* 
.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|pdf|zip|tar|gz|bz|bz2)$ {
             expires 30d;
        }

  location / {
    fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;

    fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING      q=$request_uri;
    include fastcgi_params;
  }

#  location ~ (jpg|jpeg|gif|png)$ {

  location ~ /.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME

    fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING      q=$request_uri;
    include fastcgi_params;
  }

  location = /css/style.php {
