assuming you put that error_page in `location / { ... }` and you have
another `location /sub-dir/ { ... }`, try moving error_page to `server
{ ... }`.

instead of:

    server {
      location / {
        error_page ...
        ...
      }
      location /sub-dir/ {
        ...
      }
      ..
    }

use:

    server {
      error_page ...
      location / {
        ...
      }
      location /sub-dir/ {
        ...
      }
      ..
    }
