If you look in the error log, it may show you why nginx is raising
an error.

Anyway: if you remove the extra bit you added to nginx.conf, that may
cause things to start working for you.

If you want a separate location{} for your /content urls, you should
still keep "root html" active in it -- http://nginx.org/r/root for
the documentation.
