Custom error_page basic config problem.

[Agus]

Hi fellows,

I was having trouble creating a custom error_page. Here's the simple test
config i did:

server_name www.test1.com.ar;

error_log logs/www.test1.com.ar.http.error.log debug;
access_log logs/www.test1.com.ar.http.access.log main;

root /usr/local/www/www.test1;

    location / {
# Esto es para simular el geoip con un if.
if ( $remote_addr = "10.24.18.2" ) {
error_page 401 /custom/404b.html;
return 401;
}
    }


With that, i only got the nginx default error page. After turning on debug
i saw that when nginx goes to fetch the error_page mentioned it searches in
location / so it denies and send me the default error. Now i added a
location like this

    location = /custom/404b.html {
internal;
    }


Which made it work.

My question is is this is OK. If my solution is the correct one or perhaps
theres a better one. Also, this test is easy cause its local, but i want to
implemtn this in a proxy_pass situation. Probably the intercept_error..

Thanks for any hints you can give.
