Bug Description

I installed ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS just now afresh, then nginx. nginx version: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)
. the server is running at http://164.67.176.22/ .

the server config file is default, with addition only of /wth:

```
server {
 listen 80 default_server;
 listen [::]:80 default_server;

 root /var/www/html;

 index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

 server_name _;

 location / {
  try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
 }

 location /wth {
   root /var/www/fcgi-bin/;
   index wth-root.html;
 }
}

```

server was restarted, /var/www/fcgi-bin/wth-root.html is properly accessible.

now try /wth, which nginx should resolve to /var/www/fcgi-bin/wth-root.html. However, this causes a 404 error.

now try /wth-root.html, which nginx should not resolve to /var/www/fcgi-bin/wth-root.html, but does resolve.

I posted. I asked. I even paid. It makes no sense to anyone. I spent another 5 hours experimenting with this and posting the simplest version at http://164.67.176.22/ , half a page, with full details. at its simplest, it asks why

 location /wth {
   root /var/www/fcgi-bin/;
   index wth-root.html;
 }

does not resolve '/wth' (but incidentally does resolve '/wth-root.html', though not '/wth-root').

Maybe this is a good candidate for the FAQ, which is why I dared to post a comment...

This group is NOT NGINX Upstream support and has nothing to do with the NGINX FAQ.

I suggest you start by looking into the FAQ yourself for Pitfalls and that you probably need try_files but this is not a support medium.
