root

Syntax:	`root path;`
Default:	`root html;`
Context:	`http`, `server`, `location`, `if in location`

Sets the root directory for requests. For example, with the following configuration

location /i/ {
    root /data/w3;
}

The /data/w3/i/top.gif file will be sent in response to the “/i/top.gif” request.

The path value can contain variables, except $document_root and $realpath_root.

A path to the file is constructed by merely adding a URI to the value of the root directive. If a URI has to be modified, the alias directive should be used.
