Nginx Configuration for Serving Verification Files from Custom Directories

Scenario: When configuring a mini‑program verification file, the root directory may not be able to host the required ****.txt file; you can place the verification file in a custom directory on the server and map the request path to that location.

Basic configuration example:

location /jd_image.txt {
    alias /data/file/;
    jd_image.txt;
}

Extension: To serve all files with a particular suffix from a dedicated directory, use a regular‑expression location block.

location ~* \.(txt)$ {
    root /data/txt/;
}

location ~* \.(mp4)$ {
    root /data/mp4/;
}
