Hello,
I’m setting up a new site with nginx and stumbled upon a problem with the url on the frontpage. When I go into my site (for example) http://domain.com then it opens http://domain.com/index.
I would like to remove index and only have it at http://domain.com.
I have successfully removed .html extension on pages (domain.com/aboutus.html -> domain.com/aboutus) but can’t figure out how I can go from (domain.com/index -> domain.com)
This is how my server is configured:
server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; root /usr/share/nginx/html;
# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name domain.com;
rewrite ^(/.+)\.html$ $scheme://$host$1 permanent;
location / {
index index.html;
try_files $uri.html $uri $uri/ @handler;
autoindex on;
}

Any solution to this? Seems like a very common issue that Google cannot solve. My God! There are dozens of instructions out there online, all are wrong. WtF?
Please DO, remove index.html and index.php from all URLs, redirect to the non-index.html and non-index.php pages. And without using an if statement.

The
autoindex on;
definition is more so meant to allow for directory listings in the event an index file is not found. This means that in the eventindex.html
is not found, the entire directory contents will be exposed to the visitor. In most cases, this is viewed as a security risk and should only beon
when other directories are locked down to prevent traversing, except to those you specifically allow.The
index
definition should ideally be moved tonginx.conf
underhttp { }
.As an example, here’s a quick reference for
http { }
and aserver { }
block:
