You are using "if" inside "location" without understanding the
subtleties. The safest option is not to do that.

I suspect that the simplest option will be to use a newer nginx which
can do conditional logging without the "if" directive.

http://nginx.org/r/access_log

Failing that, then -- untested! -- you might have luck if you duplicate
the try_files line inside the "if" block.
