Nginx config - serving index.html not working
- by Bill
I can't figure out how to redirect / to index.html. I've gone through the threads on serverfault and I think I've tried every suggestion including:
rewrite statements within location /
index index.html at the server level, within location / and within static content
moving node.js proxy statements to location ~ /i instead of within location /
Obviously something is wrong somewhere else in my configuration. Here is my nginx.conf:
worker_processes 1;
pid /home/logs/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
error_log /home/logs/error.log;
access_log /home/logs/access.log combined;
include sites-enabled/*;
}
and my server config located in sites-enabled
server {
root /home/www/public;
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
# proxy request to node
location / {
index index.html index.htm;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3010;
proxy_redirect off;
break;
}
# static content
location ~ \.(?:ico|jpe?g|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|swf|xml|woff|eot|svg|ttf|html)$ {
access_log off;
add_header Pragma public;
add_header Cache-Control public;
expires 30d;
}
gzip on;
gzip_vary on;
gzip_http_version 1.0;
gzip_comp_level 2;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_min_length 1000;
gzip_disable "msie6";
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
}
Everything else is working just fine. Requests get proxied to node correctly and static content is served correctly. I just need to be able to forward requests made to / to /index.html.
