According to your configuration nginx will try to open /home/site/www/errors403.html or /home/site/www/errors404.html in case of 403 or 404 errors, respectively.

Do you actually have these files in your /home/site/www directory?

Replying to Valentin V. Bartenev:

According to your configuration nginx will try to open /home/site/www/errors403.html or /home/site/www/errors404.html in case of 403 or 404 errors, respectively.

Do you actually have these files in your /home/site/www directory?

<domain> = /home/site/www/forum
(CDN) static.<domain> = /home/site/www/static
errors page for all domain/subdomain's = /home/site/www/errors

Ok. Let me explain, so you do not have errors403.html and errors404.html in the /home/site/www directory? Or please note, that you don't have ending slash in your alias directive while you have it in the location block.

/home/site/www/errors403.html is not the same file as /home/site/www/errors/403.html.

Obviously enough the problem is lack of understanding how alias works.

  • The config provided in a ticket description doesn't work due to missing "/" in the "alias" directive, as already outlined in Valentin's answers. Correct one would be as follows:
    error_page 403 = /err/403.html;
    error_page 404 = /err/404.html;
    
    location /err/ {
       alias /home/site/www/errors/;
    }
    
    Note the "/" after "errors".
  • The config provided in the first comment (with a location given by a regular expression) doesn't work as in a regexp location "alias" defines full path to a file.

See here for documentation: http://nginx.org/r/alias.
