How to use nginx "root" and "location" on windows?

Question

Here is the conf:

location /Desktop/ {
    root   c:/Users/elqstux/;
}

the file path is C:\Users\elqstux\Desktop\wy.html.

when i access http://127.0.0.1/Desktop/wy.html in browser, i got 404 Not Found.

who can tell what's wrong?

Answer 1

Use double back slashes to avoid certain character issues (\r is a carriage return.):

root C:\\Users\\elelqstux;
