If "nginx -V" doesn't tell you, and the log files don't tell you, then
you can do something like

location = /docroot-test {
return 200 "docroot is $document_root\n";
}

followed by

curl -i http://localhost/docroot-test

You'll need to make sure that the new location{} is in the server{}
that will handle this request, of course, but it's hard to argue with
asking the server itself what directory it is looking in.

Any *other* location{} block might have a different "root" or "alias"
defined, but that should be clear from the config file.
