Hi everyone, I just installed ghost and I am having some trouble hosting some non-ghost content on my server. I would like to have ghost as homepage, but host in (example) /var/www/static a PDF file, or another HTML page. I sincerely do not know what to do. Reading around I tried to change my /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
<pre> server { listen 80; server_name nicolacarboni.com; root /var/www/ghost/content/themes/chiara;
location / {
try_files $uri @proxy;
}
location @proxy {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2368;
}
} </pre> In order to host on /var/www/ghost/content/themes/chiara static files, but it does not work… Do you have some solutions?
