I keep hitting this error when trying to load up my Laravel application on an Ubuntu+Nginx server.
The user should visit app.example.com/my-app
and it should load the contents of /var/www/app/my-app/public/index.php
[error] 9028#0: *15001 directory index of "/var/www/app/my-app/" is
forbidden, client: xxx.xxx.xxx.xx, server: app.example.com, request:
"GET /my-app/ HTTP/1.1", host: "app.example.com"
My nginx config is as follows:
server
{
server_name app.example.com www.app.example.com;
root /var/www/app;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}
location ~ \.php$
{
#fastcgi_pass unix:/dev/shm/php-fpm-www.sock;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:7777;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_connect_timeout 60;
fastcgi_send_timeout 180;
fastcgi_read_timeout 180;
fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
fastcgi_buffers 8 256k;
fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;
}
location ~ /\.ht
{
deny all;
}
location /my-app/{
alias /var/www/app/my-app/public/;
try_files $uri $uri/ /public/index.php?$query_string;
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri /index.php =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
#fastcgi_index index.php;
#fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:7777;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
}
I've tried the following:
- Set permissions
chown -R www-data /var/www/app/my-app
which didn't make any difference - Adjusting the
alias
andtry_file
directories which didn't change the error or assist

The error is due to the
$uri/
part of the try_files clause which instructs nginx to serve the content of the directory /var/www/app/my-app/. Directory listing is forbidden by default, you can enable it by addingautoindex on;
to the location.It's seems like the file /var/www/app/my-app/public/index.php does not exist.
