xml file content display

Hi

I am developing application server where my client application wanted to read content of an xml file. I am having problem either the following configuration at nginx.conf is right or not in order to publish xml content.

location /file/update.xml {
                    default_type "application/xml";
                    content_by_lua_file 'updates/truvoc/update.xml';
                }

my file content is
<?xml version="1.0 encoding ="utf-8"?>
<app>
    <version>1.8.3</version>
    <url>http://www.xxx.com</url>
</app>

Plz help me

The content_by_lua_file directive only accepts files containing Lua
source code, which has been made clear in its documentation:

    https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module#content_by_lua_file

If you just want to serve the static XML file (or other static
resources), then you should just use NGINX's standard
ngx_http_static_module, which is can be configured by the "root"
directive:

    http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#root

or "alias" directive:

    http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#alias
