I am trying to send files from from subdirectories from the nginx server.
When the URL is http://localhost:8080/media/photo.jpg the Nginx sends the file from the path

/Users/utsavdusad/Desktop/Pilot_App_test/uploads

It doesn't send the file from the subfolders in uploads directory.

location  /media  {
        sendfile on;
        alias /Users/utsavdusad/Desktop/Pilot_App_test/uploads;
        autoindex on;

    }

I want to serve the files from a subdirectory of the uploads folder. for e.g.: ../uploads/photos

Where do you want `/media/photo.jpg` served from? – Richard Smith May 05 '16 at 15:04
Do you prevent access by file types or you want to allow all files and prevent listing of all subdirectories? – randominstanceOfLivingThing May 05 '16 at 15:04

I want to allow the files from all subdirectories of **uploads** folder. – Utsav Dusad May 05 '16 at 15:42
It does. Check error_log. Or may be you have other locations overriding this one. – Dmitry MiksIr May 05 '16 at 19:32
