I am building a static site where the user will see a different index.html file based on their country.

My plan is to use GeoIp module in nginx where, if a person from country 1 visits my domain www.example.com his URL will be rewritten to www.example.com/country1 and its static site data will be served the from folder /var/www/site/country1/index.html . Similar logic will be applied to country2 and country3. If the person does not belong to these 3 countries, he will see the default page located in /var/www/site/index.html

But the problem is I am not able to find a solution for this. Sometimes I see 404 error, sometimes it shows 500 error indicating multiple internal redirections and sometimes it only shows the /var/www/site/country1/index.html file without any styling i.e. Not able to access any asset files located in /var/www/site/country1/assets.

Here is how my nginx.conf looks like ,

    error_log            /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
    include              /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
    include              /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
     server {
                listen 80 ;
                server_name _;
                deny all;
                return 444;

                location / { 
                }
                error_page 404 /404.html;
                    location = /40x.html {
                }
                error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
                    location = /50x.html {
                }
            }
}
