How to configure nginx to enable kinda 'file browser' mode?

Question

Once I\'ve seen this before when I type a URL http://test.com/test/, instead of give me a html page, it gives me a \'file browser\' like interface to browse all

Answer 1

You should try HttpAutoindexModule.

Set autoindex option to on. It is off by default.

Your example configuration should be ok

location /{ 
   root /home/yozloy/html/; 
   index index.html; 
   autoindex on;
}

Without autoindex option you should be getting Error 403 for requests that end with / on directories that do not have an index.html file. With this option you should be getting a simple listing:

Index of /test/
../
test.txt                 19-May-2012 10:43            0

Edit: Updated the listing to delete any references to test
