Javier, I had the same problem. It looks like the ‘location’ block has to go inside a ‘server’ block. hope it helps!

[...] We tweaked our settings5, and got ourselves back the game. Until we opened the site one Sunday evening to discover it wouldn’t load. A restart put things aright, but this had gone far enough.

Great post! Thanks a lot, but... I'm an absolute newbie and I've got an error restarting nginx:

Server config is in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
