Do your nginx logs show this request getting to nginx?

If not, there is something outside of nginx that needs changing first.

Perhaps if you test using "curl", that will eliminate any possibility of
browser-side caching interfering in your tests.

If your configuration includes something like

  location = /index.html { return 200 "Opening index.php\n"; }

that might explain that difference.

Your configuration probably does not include that location{} block;
but only you know for sure.


On your test system where you can replicate this unwanted behaviour:
how many lines from the config can you remove, and still see the issue?

If you can show a (small) config that someone else can use to see the
issue, perhaps it will be clear what needs to be changed.

Cheers,
