nginx site specific 404 pages

[ghost]

I'm trying to figure out how to get nginx to display the 404.html in a specific sites root.

If entered directly, i.e. domain.tld/404.html it works of course but hitting any non existent url it renders the default nginx error page.

I tried adding an error_page directive under the default server config for nginx and restarted the service with no luck. Specifically error_page 404 /404.html as per http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#error_page. Both in the server block and the location block.

Is there a way to enable this already that I'm missing? I know MIAB is not intended to be a complex web server but having even a default to attempt a /404.html before the default would be pretty awesome.

when you create a site, you have a subdirectory "domain.tld"
In the same directory, you create domain.tld.conf; in this file, you can add directives as from the above nginx link.

If they are not duplicate, it will work.

items below will probably work.
error_page 404 /404.html;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;

after modifieng the .conf file, you only have to do nginx -t (for testing the config file) and systemctl restart nginx.service for loading a correct config file
