title: Change the path of a symlinked directory in NGINX
body: <p>Lets say that I have a directory /var/www/assets/ and within that directory I have a symlink which points to a folder which contains all the latest asset files for my website.</p>
  
  <p>/var/www/assets/asssets -> /var/www/website/releases/xxxxxxx/public/assets</p>
  
  <p>If I configure NGINX to serve asset files from /var/www/assets with the domain assetfilesdomain.com and asset files are prefixed with the directory /asset/ then when that /asset folder's symlink is changed then the updated link is not reflected in NGINX. The way that I see it, NGINX grabs the resolved path for that asset folder when it is started.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get around this?</p>
