    <p>I have Apache running on my server on port 8080 with NginX running as a reserve proxy on port 80. I am attempting to get NginX to serve static HTML files for specific URLs. I am struggling to write the NginX configuration that does this. I have conflicting directives as my URLs are nested within each other.</p> <p>Here's what I want to have:</p> <ul> <li><p>One URL is at <code>/example/</code> and I want NginX to serve a static HTML file located on my server at <code>/path/to/www/example-content.html</code> instead of letting Apache serve the page to NginX.</p></li> <li><p>Another URL is at <code>/example/images/</code> and I want Apache to serve that page to NginX, just as it does for the rest of the site.</p></li> </ul> <p>I have set up my nginx.conf file like this:</p> <pre><code>server { listen 80; server_name localhost; # etc... location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/; } # etc... </code></pre> <p>My attempt to serve the static file at <code>/example/</code> from NginX went like this:</p> <pre><code> location /example/ { alias /path/to/www/; index example-content.html; } </code></pre> <p>This works, but it means everything after the <code>/example/</code> URL (such as <code>/example/images/</code>) is aliased to that local path also.</p> <p>I would like to use regex instead but I've not found a way to serve up the file specifically, only the folder. What I want to be able to say is something like this:</p> <pre><code> location ~ ^/example/$ { alias /path/to/www/example-content.html; } </code></pre> <p>This specifically matches the <code>/example/</code> folder, but using a filename like that is invalid syntax. Using the explicit <code>location = /example/</code> in any case doesn't work either.</p> <p>If I write this:</p> <pre><code> location ~ ^/example/$ { alias /path/to/www/; index example-content.html; } location ~ /example/(.+) { alias /path/to/www/$1; } </code></pre> <p>The second directive attempts to undo the damage of the first directive, but it ends up overriding the first directive and it fails to serve up the static file.</p> <p>So I'm at a bit of a loss. Any advice at all extremely welcome! Many thanks.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
