I am trying to serve some html from a location other than root.



If I go to http://example.com/somepage.html then I would like to be served by the @fallback but now it just loads index.html in root. This somepage.html (i could have other pages) is only available in the @fallback root.



I am even ok to explicitly go to http://example.com/drafts/somepage.html as long as it serves from the folder in @fallback



server 
listen 80;

root /home/main/www;
server_name example.com;
index index.php index.html;

error_page 404 /404.html;

location /
default_type "text/html";
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html @fallback =404;


# serve preview pages
location @fallback
root /home/main/test/drafts/_previews;




[Update]: I got it working like this ->



 location / 
default_type "text/html";
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html =404;


# serve preview pages
location /_previews
root /home/main/test/drafts;



I go to http://example.com/_previews/somepage.html and the page is loaded correctly.



I wonder if there's a ways to use @fallback or rewrite _previews to something easier like drafts without changing this root.
