That's not what is happening. "location ^~" is a prefix match, not a
regex match, so this location is probably not being used by anything.

That's not what ^~ means.

That probably won't match any request.

That probably won't match any request.

That should match requests of the form /XXX/.

That should match requests of the form /XXX/YYY/.

That should match any request that does not otherwise match a location.

That should match a request of the form /XXX.php.

Misunderstanding what "location" does?

http://nginx.org/r/location

What request do you make?

Which one of the above locations does the request match?

What output do you expect?

What output do you get?

(And what do the logs say?)
