Can't make a simple configuration...

[Yaşar Arabacı]

Hi,

This will be an absolute beginner question. Sorry about that. What I want to
do is, I want to serve all files under http://localhost/static from
/home/myname/public_html/static

My configuration regarding that part:


location ~ /static/* {
root /home/yasar/public_html/;
}

I have put index files just to test it in ~/public_html/static adming folder
under static folder and css folder under admin folder and I can see all of
index.html files. But when I try to get an css file there, I get this error
(from error log):

2011/07/20 00:42:27 [error] 7749#0: *1 open()
"/etc/nginx/html/static/admin/css/ie.css" failed (2: No such file or
directory), client: 127.0.0.1, server: localhost, request: "GET
/static/admin/css/ie.css HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost"

appereantly, my root directive doesn't work some reason. Any help would be
appriciated.

Yaşar Arabacı.
