First, you said "reproducing" not copying
Reporoducing includes making work based on your work.

Second, this is what i meant

Code: (Select All)

root /var/www;
location / {
#settings here
}

it's more convenient In my opinion because you don't need to type root in every location block

Both will work. Just do what you like most

I know both will work.
Some sites say it's faster than putting it in the location block.
Also it's more convenient as I said. No need to put it in every location block. Also it helps make a smaller config.

It might be a little faster, since the file is smaller. I don't really know how nginx reads the config. I don't think the impact of putting "root" outside the location { } will be noticable...
