this works:

if ( -f /ah/sites/colon365.co.uk/public/.maintenance ) { set $maintenance 1; }

this doesn't:

if ( -f $document_root/.maintenance ) { set $maintenance 1; }

two questions,

1. is there a way to make the latter work? some slight change or tweak? 2. why doesn't it work? are variables not interpolated when doing file system checks like -f?

it should work. probably you have wrong root or root in wrong place. plz provide full config

One thing i just noticed. root is defined until after that snippet above. is that an issue?

Config is spread across multiple files.

Here is the best bits:

/ah/sites/colon365.co.uk/conf/nginx.conf:

server { listen 208.113.69.210; server_name colon365.co.uk; server_name www.colon365.co.uk;

include /ah/sites/colon365.co.uk/conf/nginx/base; include /ah/sites/colon365.co.uk/conf/nginx/maintenance; include /ah/sites/colon365.co.uk/conf/nginx/fake-homepage;

access_log /var/log/ah/colon365.co.uk.log combined; include /ah/conf/nginx/www-shared; }

--

/ah/sites/colon365.co.uk/conf/nginx/base:

set $base /ah/sites/colon365.co.uk;

--

/ah/conf/nginx/www-shared:

include /ah/conf/nginx/root; include /ah/conf/nginx/favicon; include /ah/conf/nginx/standard-expire; include /ah/conf/nginx/unsub-aliases; include /ah/conf/nginx/hackersafe; include /ah/conf/nginx/historical; location / { if ( !-e $request_filename ) { expires -1; proxy_pass http://mod_perl; break; } }

--

/ah/conf/nginx/root:

set $root $base/public; root $root;
