The nginx.conf is as following:
user www-data;
worker_processes 1;
error_log logs/error.log;
error_log logs/error.log notice;
error_log logs/error.log info;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
server {
listen 8080;
server_name example.com;
root /tmp/test/example;
location = / {
index index.html;
}
location / {
root /tmp/test/mydomain;
}
}
}
The errors.log is:
2016/03/22 23:07:56 [error] 17763#0: *1 directory index of "/tmp/test/example/" is forbidden, client: 127.0.0.1, server: example.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "example.com:8080"
But when I comment the line root /tmp/test/example, it works fine. So I want to know how the index redirect works?
It seems to me that you do not have an index.html file in the /tmp/test/example directory.
Your location = / block tests for the presence of the file (index.html), and if it does not exist, generates a 403 response.
After the URI is rewritten to /index.html it is actually processed by your location / block.
I suspect that the reason it works when you delete the first root directive, is because the default (or global) root takes over where the "Welcome to nginx" index.html file is located. So, it passes the existence test, then serves your file.
I should add that the above is mostly guesswork based on your observations and my experiments.
