This used to work for me but now for some reason it does not anymore. When I check /var/www/vhosts/system/example.com/conf/vhost_nginx.conf it does not contain location / directive and thus it does work. But I still get an email with plesk wanting to regenerate the files and a message on the "home" dashboard as well.
I think the reason for try-to-fix-but-instead-really-messed-up is PPPM-6752.
@Sven Janssen,
If you still experience any issues, please submit a request to our Plesk Technical Support so they may check the issue thoroughly.
Well unfortunately I got Plesk via my provider and cannot submit a ticket. The problem still persists.
To get an override for location /, I uncheck the "proxy" and cut the directive so it is empty and hit apply. Then I paste the directive and hit okay. Everything works until plesk regenerates the configs for whatever reason and then it breaks.

Hi Sven Janssen,
Then you must be able to open a support request to your provider about Plesk or get a Support subscription.
