Using variables in Nginx location rules

Question

In Nginx, I\'m trying to define a variable which allows me to configure a sub-folder for all my location blocks. I did this:

set $folder \'/test\';

location         


        

Answer 1

You could do the opposite of what you proposed.

location (/test)/ {
   set $folder $1;
}

location (/test_/something {
   set $folder $1;
}
