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;
}
