Question
Nginx: setup `public_folder` to serve html and similar files?
- Posted on November 16, 2013
Asked by antoniorus
After installing the Ghost droplet (running Nginx) I’ve realised that there is no public_folder or www folder where I can drop random html files and other docs (e.g. Google Webmaster Tools domain verification file).
Is anyone aware of the configuration/changes required to have a public_folder up and running on Nginx without affecting the security of the server?

@ar: Are you sure these are the only virtual host config files? There doesn’t seem to be a virtual host for the ghost blog, ghost-blog.com.
<pre> <br>server { <br> listen 80; <br> server_name www.ghost-blog.com; <br> rewrite ^/(.*) http://ghost-blog.com/$1 permanent; <br>} <br> <br>server { <br>root /usr/share/nginx/www; <br>index index.html index.htm; <br> <br>server_name localhost; <br> <br>location / { <br> try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
<br> } <br> <br>location /doc/ { <br> alias /usr/share/doc/; <br> autoindex on; <br> allow 127.0.0.1; <br> deny all; <br> } <br>} <br></pre>
Please pastebin your nginx virtualhost config file.
