Seriously… Where is it? I have a custom install. So in this thread, people are using various locations, don’t know if they are typos > **[Editing nginx site.conf file](https://community.localwp.com/t/editing-nginx-site-conf-file/714)** > > I’m attempting to load images from production by editing the local site.conf file in site/conf/nginx. This is what I’m using: location ~ ^/wp-content/uploads/(.\*) { rewrite ^/wp-content/uploads/(.\*)$... Someone first mentions `site/conf/nginx.` But I don’t have a site at the top level. Then someone talks of a `conf/nginx/site.conf` Now I do have a ‘conf’ in the top level… but that only has a php directory in it `/conf/php/` Nothing in `/etc/nginx/` but an empty directory `/etc/nginx/wordpress/` The really annoying thing is, I know it’s there somewhere, since I’ve been in it before a while ago. I mentally noted at the time it was not standard, but stupidly didn’t ‘take note’… Really would be a good idea to actually have some documentation, since, when I’m searching these threads, I never know if someone has made a typo or if they are talking of the same `/path/to/file/` due to the discrepancies between their posts etc etc etccd … ---

Searched the entire system for “\*.conf” Not there… this is crazy, I just updated to High Sierra, and this is the latest in a long line of situations, deleted files, passwords etc across my whole system. I have a duplicator backup, seems to me that it will take less time to restore than figure this out. ---

Hey Jeff, Here’s what it looks like on macOS with a normal Custom install: ![35 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/2X/7/73243e6d15da483ab6fc0385c2458b00b21116b8.png) * * * BTW, we’re actively working on documentation! ---

Hey Clay, Yeah, I gave up, I HighSierra has deleted all sorts of things from my system. I’ve just spent the day re-inputting email passwords into Airmail, and other settings across a variety of apps. I just reinstalled the site from a duplicator backup I had from the other day. Also, pardon my sharpness, I do love local as a dev environment, and I really look forward to the documentation.

Per your screenshot, I am not seeing that same structure with my Local Sites directory on mac. I have all my sites listed within the Local Sites directory, and inside of them I have an app and logs directory - but not a conf folder. Has the location of the conf folder changed? Also: I am on macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 and version 2.2.3 of Local. Thanks! ---

You need to be running a Custom, not Preferred, environment for that folder to be present. ---

Ah interesting, I didn’t know there were different environments available in Local 😮 I’ll look further into that, thank you for taking the time to help! ---
