That suggests that the configuration you are editing, and the
configuration that nginx is using, are not the same.

You can test by adding the following line:

    location = /test/ {return 200 "This is a test\n";}

just after the server_name line and reloading nginx.

If "curl -i http://localhost/test/" does not show you "This is a test",
then that's your problem.

After you fix that, the rest should become clear.
