raspberry pi live streaming with nginx not playing

Question

I am working on a project for which I have to stream live video from raspberry pi camera module in a network. For the purpose I am using nginx server and picam software but I am having hard time with it. I added the path to the directory in nginx.conf file uder the http section like this:

    server {
            location /hls/ {
                root /run/shm;
                index index.m3u8 index.html;
        } }

then I ran the program I tried to access the live streaming from a browser like http://localhost/index.m3u8 , http://localhost/hls/index.m3u8 but it says, 404 not found.

I need your help. Thank you.

I was doing wrong. I had to add above lines of code in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default.
