Nginx Showing Welcome Page instead of homepage

Looks great!

Good luck with your project :)

@bobbyiliev Thanks for your awesome support man!

I am using certbot for ssl and cloudflare for caching.

Here is my final **virtual.conf **file

server {

listen 80;

server_name www.XYZDomain.com redirecttest.de;
return 301 https://www.XYZDomain.com$request_uri;

}

server {

             listen 443 ssl http2;
             server_name www.XYZDomain.com XYZDomain.com;        
             root /var/www/html/XYZDomain.com/public;

            location / {
                        autoindex on;
                        index index.html index.htm index.php;
                }

                location = /favicon.ico {
                        log_not_found off;
                        access_log off;
                }


    # ssl certificate files
    ssl_certificate /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/XYZDomain.com/XYZDomain.com.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/XYZDomain.com/XYZDomain.com.key;

}

Hi Noors,

O’m happy to hear that it’s working now!

No that’s pretty much it. I can see that you’ve got PHP-FPM already installed.

The only thing that I would suggest is installing an SSL certificate as well :)

setenforce: SELinux is disabled Still, its behaving same.

Update:

Bobby, I transferred all the domain files into

/var/www/html/DOMAIN.com/public

and changed .conf file root directory accordingly.

Now it is working fine. Is there anything else, I can/should/must do?

Thanks for everything.

I think that in this case it would be SELinux that’s causing the issue as you are running the website from /home rather than the default /var/www.

Can you try running this command:

setenforce permissive

Let me know how it goes! Bobby

I always get 403 Forbidden nginx/1.16.0

On Changing user to nginx

I did that to all the directories:

sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/*
sudo chown -R 0755 /home/nginx/*

sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/XYZDomain.com/*
sudo chown -R 0755 /home/nginx/domains/XYZDomain.com/*

sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/XYZDomain.com/public/*
sudo chown -R 0755 /home/nginx/domains/XYZDomain.com/public/*

On tail

tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log

2019/07/03 10:25:12 [error] 26313#26313: *3 "/home/nginx/domains/XYZDomain.com/public/index.html" is forbidden (13: Permission denied), client: 142.111.2xx.1xx, server: www.XYZDomain.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "XYZDomain.com"

Checking /etc/passwd –x– nginx:x:498:498:nginx user:/var/cache/nginx:/sbin/nologin –x–

Is something wrong in here?

Hello,

Exactly, do not run your web servers as root. It’s better to change the permissions and the ownership of the files and folders at /home/nginx/domains/XYZDomain.com/public/ to the nginx default user.

You can do that with the chown command:

chown -R your_nginx_user:your_nginx_user /home/nginx/domains/XYZDomain.com/public/

Hope that this helps! Bobby

This helped me

changing user in nginx.conf to root

Though, I guess it can be harmful?

I tried changing

default_type application/octet-stream; to default_type text/html;
