I have an Nginx setup that serves a couple of websites for years and I ve never had any problems. Today I finally decided to try to add some certificates, with certbot and it didn’t go as planned - the site, fully static html - became inaccessible. I manually edited the server block file and removed all the lines added by the certbot, but to no luck. All the pages of the site now work EXCEPT for the index page.
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/freethrow/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name freethrow.rs www.freethrow.rs;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
Any help is more than welcome.

Yes, I tried but without the index part it doesn’t validate, it seems to be an Nginx directive…
Still no luck.
Hello, @aleksendric
What you can do is to use the following line in the nginx.conf instead of the currently added one:
You can also check the nginx config for syntax errors:
If the commands returns
Syntax OK
you’re good to go and you can restart Nginx and then re-test if everything is loading okay.Let me know how it goes, Alex
