Is there a way I can set an absolute path for nginx error_pages? Not absolute as in http://, but absolute as in /usr/var/nginx/errors/500.html.

Answer

Sure you can but in an indirect way:

error_page 500 /500.html;
location = /500.html {
       root   /usr/var/nginx/errors;
       allow all;
       internal;
}
