Re: Unable to make my configuration work

Where you want to end up is root+location, your last uri will now be /etc/nginx/html/common/common

location ^~ /common/ {
root /etc/nginx/html/other;
}

=> /etc/nginx/html/other/common

location ^~ /another/ {
root /etc/nginx/html/other;
}

=> /etc/nginx/html/other/another

nb. When ending a location with .../ you need to enter the URL with an ending / as well.
