I have changed it to

    location /gitlab {
        alias /home/gitlab/gitlab/public;
        try_files $uri/ @gitlab;
    }

that does not work also. I have tested it with the "try_files $uri $uri.css".

The message shows:

2013/10/30 11:10:18 [error] 6692#0: *5 open() "/home/www/static.css" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: <ip>, server: <server>,
request: "GET /static.css HTTP/1.1", host: "<server>", referrer: "https://server/gitlab/profile/keys"

I try to port this configuration https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/lib/support/nginx/gitlab
to the subdirectory, so GitLab is not called on https://myserver/ but rather https://myserver/gitlab


Thanks for help
