nginx config to serve static files

Dear all,

I currently have setupped my nginx to be able to serve static files. The snippets is as such:

server {
        listen   80;
        server_name  72.14.185.215;

        location / {
                root   /var/www/nginx-default;
                index  index.html index.htm;
        }

        location /media {
                root /var/www/media;
#               autoindex on;
#               allow all;
        }
}

Now when I access from the browser using this address http://72.14.185.215/media , I get a 404 message. I already created the /var/www/media folder. Have I missed on something here?

Thanks in advance
