hi, is there a way to use nginx to publish the maintenance file

[Space Lee]

Hi, a strange thing, I found try_files won't work in the server context, only work in the location context. 

I have a sample like this 
try_files /maintenance.html $uri $uri/
location / {
	XXXX
}

then it won't work, but if I move the try_files into the location

location / {
	try_files /maintenance.html $uri $uri/
	XXXX
}

then it works for root directory. 

and it's a trouble that I have to put the try_files in each location, as I have .php, .jpg  location. 
location ~ \.php$ {
	fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
	fastcgi_index index.php;
	include fastcgi_params;
}

And I have to add the try_files in each of the location, is there any better solution. 

I try to put the try_files out of the location, restarting nginx won't have any error, but it won't work when I access the site in the web browser.
