I would like to clarify what's going on in these two lines of Igor's
answer.

A. Note the "/500.html" part on the first line. That is not a variable
of any sort, but rather means that Nginx is expecting there to be a file
named 500.html in your root. In some examples you will see "/50x.html"
used instead. In that case, there must be a file that is literally named
"50x.html" in your root. (The "x" is not to be mistaken for a variable)

B. Note the "location = /500.html" block down below. There is nothing in
this block, but it is crucial that this block exists or your custom
error page will not be displayed.
