I have 3 domain names and am trying to host all 3 sites on one server (a Digital Ocean droplet) using Nginx.
mysite1.name mysite2.name mysite3.name
Only 1 of them works. The other two result in 403 errors (in the same way).
In my nginx error log, I see: [error] 13108#0: *1 directory index of "/usr/share/nginx/mysite2.name/live/" is forbidden.
My sites-enabled config is:
server {
server_name www.mysite2.name;
return 301 $scheme://mysite2.name$request_uri;
}
server {
server_name mysite2.name;
root /usr/share/nginx/mysite2.name/live/;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
All 3 sites have nearly identical config files.
Each site's files are in folders like /usr/share/nginx/mysite1.name/someFolder, and then /usr/share/nginx/mysite1.name/live is a symlink to that. (Same for mysite2 and mysite3.)
I've looked at Nginx 403 forbidden for all files but that didn't help.
Any ideas on what might be wrong?
If you have directory indexing off, and is having this problem, it's probably because the try_files you are using has a directory option:
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html index.php;
} ^ that is the issue
Remove it and it should work:
location / {
try_files $uri /index.html index.php;
}
From what I can see, this is caused because nginx will try to index the directory, and be blocked by itself. Throwing the error mentioned by OP.
Here is the config that works:
server {
server_name www.mysite2.name;
return 301 $scheme://mysite2.name$request_uri;
}
server {
#This config is based on https://github.com/daylerees/laravel-website-configs/blob/6db24701073dbe34d2d58fea3a3c6b3c0cd5685b/nginx.conf
server_name mysite2.name;
# The location of our project's public directory.
root /usr/share/nginx/mysite2/live/public/;
# Point index to the Laravel front controller.
index index.php;
location / {
# URLs to attempt, including pretty ones.
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
# Remove trailing slash to please routing system.
if (!-d $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.+)/$ /$1 permanent;
}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
# # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
# # With php5-fpm:
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
Then the only output in the browser was a Laravel error: “Whoops, looks like something went wrong.”
Do NOT run chmod -R 777 app/storage (note). Making something world-writable is bad security.
chmod -R 755 app/storage works and is more secure.
If you're simply trying to list directory contents use autoindex on; like:
location /somedir {
autoindex on;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
access_log /var/...........................;
root /path/to/root;
location / {
index index.php index.html index.htm;
}
location /somedir {
autoindex on;
}
}
I encountered similar error
--- "403 Forbidden" in the webpage
--- "13: Permission denied" in the error log at /var/log/nginx/error.log
Below 3 Steps worked for me:
1: Open Terminal, saw something like below
user1@comp1:/home/www/
So, my user name is "user1" (from above)
2: Changed user in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
# user www-data;
user user1;
3: Reloaded the nginx
sudo nginx -s reload
Additionally, I have applied file/folder permissions (before I did above 3 steps)
(755 to my directory, say /dir1/) & (644 for files under that directory):
(I am not sure, if this additional step is really required, just above 3 steps might be enough):
chmod 755 ./dir1/
chmod 644 ./dir1/*.*
Hope this helps quick someone. Best of luck.
I had the same problem, the logfile showed me this error:
2016/03/30 14:35:51 [error] 11915#0: *3 directory index of "path_scripts/viewerjs/" is forbidden, client: IP.IP.IP.IP, server: domain.com, request: "GET /scripts/viewerjs/ HTTP/1.1", host: "domain", referrer: "domain.com/new_project/do_update"
I am hosting a PHP app with codeignitor framework. When i wanted to view uploaded files i received a 403 Error.
The problem was, that the nginx.conf was not properly defined. Instead of
index index.html index.htm index.php
i only included
index index.php
I have an index.php in my root and i thought that was enough, i was wrong ;) The hint gave me NginxLibrary
In fact there are several things you need to check. 1. check your nginx's running status
ps -ef|grep nginx
ps aux|grep nginx|grep -v grep
Here we need to check who is running nginx. please remember the user and group
check folder's access status
ls -alt
compare with the folder's status with nginx's
(1) if folder's access status is not right
sudo chmod 755 /your_folder_path
(2) if folder's user and group are not the same with nginx's running's
sudo chown your_user_name:your_group_name /your_folder_path
and change nginx's running username and group
nginx -h
to find where is nginx configuration file
sudo vi /your_nginx_configuration_file
//in the file change its user and group
user your_user_name your_group_name;
//restart your nginx
sudo nginx -s reload
Because nginx default running's user is nobody and group is nobody. if we haven't notice this user and group, 403 will be introduced.
You might get this because of Nginx policy (eg. "deny"), or you might get this because of Nginx misconfiguration, or you might get this because of filesystem restrictions.
You can determine if its the later (and possibly see evidence of a misconfiguration by using strace (except, the OP won't have access to that):
# pidof nginx
11853 11852
# strace -p 11853 -p 11852 -e trace=file -f
Process 11853 attached - interrupt to quit
Process 11852 attached - interrupt to quit
[pid 11853] stat("/var/www/html/kibanaindex.html", 0x7ffe04e93000) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid 11853] stat("/var/www/html/kibana", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
^CProcess 11853 detached
Process 11852 detached
Here I'm inspecting the filesystem activity done by nginx while a ran a test (I had the same error as you).
Here's a selected part of my config at the time
location /kibana/3/ {
alias /var/www/html/kibana;
index index.html;
}
In my case, as strace quite clearly shows, the joining of in the "alias" to the "index" was not what I had expected, and it seems I need to get into the habit of always appending directory names with a /, so in my case, the following worked:
location /kibana/3/ {
alias /var/www/html/kibana/;
index index.html;
}
It look's like some permissions problem.
Try to set all permisions like you did in mysite1 to the others site.
By default file permissions should be 644 and dirs 755. Also check if the user that runs nginx have permission to read that files and dirs.
Because you're using php-fpm, you should make sure that php-fpm user is the same as nginx user.
Check /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf and set php user and group to nginx if it's not.
The php-fpm user needs write permission.
change the try_files to point to the index.php path, in the "Laravel" that you mentioned it should be something like this
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /public/index.php$request_uri;
}
And in the "codeigniter" project try it like this
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /public_web/index.php$request_uri;
}
You need execute permission on your static files directory. Also they need to be chown'ed by your nginx user and group.
location ~* \.php$ {
...
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
Change default
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
to
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
solved my problem.
6833#0: *1 directory index of "/path/to/your/app" is forbidden, client: 127.0.0.1, server: lol.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost"
I was running Ubuntu 15.10 and encountered the 403 Forbidden error due to a simple reason. In the nginx.conf(configuration file for nginx), the user was 'www-data'. Once I changed the username to [my username], it worked fine assuming the necessary permissions were given to my username. Steps followed by me:
chmod 755 /path/to/your/app
My configuration file looks like this:
**user [my username]**;#I made the change here.

For me the problem was that any routes other than the base route were working, adding this line fixed my problem:
index index.php;
Full thing:
server {
server_name example.dev;
root /var/www/example/public;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
I resolved my problem, if i configure like follow:
location = /login {
index login2.html;
}
It'll show the 403 error.
[error] 4212#2916: *2 directory index of "D:\path/to/login/" is forbidden
I've tried autoindex on, but not working.
If i change my configure like this, it works.
location = /login/ {
index login2.html;
}
I think the exact matching, if it's a path should be a directory.
when you want to keep the directory option,you can put the index.php ahead of $uri like this.
try_files /index.php $uri $uri/
To fix this issue I spent a full night. Here's my two cents on this story,
Check if you are using hhvm as php interpreter. Then it's possible that it's listening on port 9000 so you will have to modify your web server's config.
This is a side note: If you are using mysql, and connections from hhvm to the mysql become impossible, check if you have apparmor installed. disable it.
location / {
root fileLocation;
index index.html index.htm;
expires 0;
if_modified_since off;}
Here I used alias instead of root and that caused me the error. This configuration works fine.
