Hello,

Have this 403 error. My website is developped with Laravel.

NGINX CONFIG:

server { listen 127.0.0.1:8080 default_server; server_name localhost; root /usr/share/nginx/html; index public/index.php; }

The index, is located on the folder public. But when I goes to my site, I start download the index, but I didn’t see the index… Have try with the view of the index located here -> resources/views/main/main.blade.php

You have a few errors in your server block. Below is a corrected version. As it is a PHP:Laravel project you will need to add the necessary directives for NGINX to know how to interoperate PHP.

server {
  listen 8080;
  server_name yourdomain.com;
  root /usr/share/nginx/html/public;
  index index.php index.html;
}
