Nope...

Yeah, you're right :/ My fault. Didn't think about because i copied it
from another block i use, but since there is only one status page,
the setup was slightly different and worked.

Well, i did that. But it only logs directory index of "/var/www/webroot/" is
forbidden" - nothing about the missing error page. But i got a 404 in the
accesslog, but i thought this was due to the fact that the location didn't work.

Anyway, changeing root to alias and location ^~ /status/ { internal;
alias /var/www/statuspages/; } did the trick.

Thanks a lot for the enlightenment ;)
