I want to run nginx on my Ubuntu 10.04 32bit Linode VPS.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/development
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nginx
To make a nginx virtualhost:
mkdir -p /var/www/example.com/{public,logs}
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com
and wrote following
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.example.com;
rewrite ^/(.*) http://example.com/$1 permanent;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
access_log /var/www/example.com/logs/access.log;
error_log /var/www/example.com/logs/error.log;
location / {
root /var/www/example.com/public/;
index index.html;
}
}
Then I enabled the virtualhost example.com
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.com
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
I put a index.html to /var/www/example.com/public
and enter www.example.com URL from my browser. Then I got following
403 Forbidden
nginx/0.8.53
tail /var/log/nginx/error.log
gives following error
*38 directory index of "/var/www/" is forbidden, client: 88.224.1.128, server: localhost, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: www.example.com
I redo
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www
but it gives same error.
and cat /etc/nginx/nginx.cnf
user www-data;
worker_processes 1;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
# multi_accept on;
}
http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;
#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 65;
tcp_nodelay on;
gzip on;
# As per: http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpGzipModule#gzip_disable starting
# with 0.7.63
gzip_disable "msie6";
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}
If I put the index.html to /var/www/ then I can see html file but any attempt to put it under /var/www/example.com/public fails. I looked at file and folder permissions they are ok all belongs to www-data and readable (775)
What can I do to make nginx work? Thanks
The 403 is because have off the autoindex.
autoindex off;
Need put it on, and you can see the dirs
autoindex on;
If is off you can see the files but not list the directories.
I had the same symptoms on Ubuntu 10.04, Nginx & Wordpress and the answer was a desperately dumb one.
In case someone else is in the same situation....
In my nginx config for the site
location / {
index index.html index.htm;
}
didn't have index.php
adding it to the list cured the problem
I suppose, that
rewrite ^/(.*) http://example.com/$1 permanent;doesn't works properly. Host was remained www.example.com No redirect was happened, since you get following error line into your log:
*38 directory index of "/var/www/" is forbidden, client: 88.224.1.128, server: localhost, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: www.example.com
Try to play with rewrite line.
Another version: Are you sure, that those lines is works correctly?
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf; include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
