nginx with ssl: I get a 403 and log "directory index of '...dir...' is forbidden" log message. works fine with unencrypted connection
- by user72464
As mentioned in the title, I had nginx working fine with my rails app, until I tried to add the ssl server.
The unencrypted connection still works but the ssl always returns me a 403 page with the following line in the error log:
directory index of "/home/user/rails/" is forbidden, client: [my ip], server: _, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "[server ip]"
Below my nginx.conf server block:
server {
listen 80;
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/server.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/server.key;
client_max_body_size 4G;
keepalive_timeout 5;
root /home/user/rails;
try_files $uri/index.html $uri.html $uri @app;
location @app {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:8080;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
location = /500.html {
root /home/user/rails;
}
}
the /home/user/rails directory and it's parent have all read to all rights. and they belong to the user nginx.
the certificate and key file have the following rights:
-rw-r--r-- 1 nginx root 830 Nov 8 09:09 server.crt
-rw--w---- 1 nginx root 887 Nov 8 09:09 server.key
any clue?
