How do you dynamically set nginx root based on location?

I can't seem to find information on this specifically, but I'm basically trying to catch a location like:

http://domain.com/project/Content/Images/image.png

and I want it to point to root like this:

/var/www/$project/Content/Images/image.png

This is what I tried to put together, but it doesn't seem to work:

location ~ ^/(?<project>.+)/Content/^(?<content>.+)$ {
    root /var/www/$project/Content/$content;
}

I don't seem to be catching this location as I am getting a 404 error which is installed via a php page from which I have try_files in the / directory. This makes me think the regex is wrong, but I'm not sure.

I think you are really close. You have an extra line in your regular expression search string. ^ means "match the beginning of the line"



location ~ ^/(?<project>.+)/Content/(?<content>.+)$ {
    root /var/www/$project/Content/$content;
}
