Questions & Answers

My correct index page is index.php but Nginx directed me to index.html everytime when I access it, however page index.html didn't exist in the root diractory thus resulted in 403 forbidden. I tried to manually access some pages, but it downloaded page files for me instead of displaying them (for example when I enter (my domain)/index.php the page downloads as a file (Do you want to download index.php?) instead of displays as a webpage).

I tried to change the default index page by editing nginx.conf, however nothing happened.

Here is my nginx.conf file

user  nginx;
worker_processes  auto;

error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log notice;
pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;
load_module modules/ngx_http_js_module.so;
load_module modules/ngx_stream_js_module.so;


events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}


http {
    include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
                      '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                      '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    keepalive_timeout  65;

    #gzip  on;

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
    server {
        listen       80 default_server;
        listen       [::]:80 default_server;
        server_name  _;
        root         /data/thebveforum;

        # Load configuration files for the default server block.
        include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf;

        location / {
        }

        error_page 404 /404.html;
        location = /40x.html {
        }

        error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
        }
    }    
}
