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
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:
<html>
<head><title>Index of /</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<h1>Index of /test/</h1><hr><pre><a href="../">../</a>
<a href="test.txt">test.txt</a> 19-May-2012 10:43 0
</pre><hr></body>
</html>
Edit: Updated the listing to delete any references to test
Just add this section to server, just before the location / {
location /your/folder/to/browse/ {
autoindex on;
}
You need create /home/yozloy/html/test
folder. Or you can use alias
like below show:
location /test {
alias /home/yozloy/html/;
autoindex on;
}
I've tried many times.
And at last I just put autoindex on;
in http
but outside of server
, and it's OK.
Set autoindex option to on
. It is off by default.
Your configuration file ( vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
) should be like this
location /{
... ( some other lines )
autoindex on;
... ( some other lines )
}
Set autoindex option to on
. It is off by default.
Your configuration file ( vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
)
should be like this.
change path_of_your_directory
to your directory path
location /path_of_your_directory{
... ( some other lines )
autoindex on;
... ( some other lines )
}
Hope it helps..
All answers contain part of the answer. Let me try to combine all in one.
Quick setup "file browser" mode on freshly installed nginx server:
Edit default config for nginx:
sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Add following to config section:
location /myfolder { # new url path
alias /home/username/myfolder/; # directory to list
autoindex on;
}
Create folder and sample file there:
mkdir -p /home/username/myfolder/
ls -la >/home/username/myfolder/mytestfile.txt
Restart nginx
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Check result: http://<your-server-ip>/myfolder
for example http://192.168.0.10/myfolder/
