Module ngx_http_index_module (original) (raw)

The ngx_http_index_module module processes requests ending with the slash character (‘/’). Such requests can also be processed by thengx_http_autoindex_moduleandngx_http_random_index_modulemodules.

Example Configuration

location / { index index.$geo.html index.html; }

Directives

Defines files that will be used as an index. The _file_ name can contain variables. Files are checked in the specified order. The last element of the list can be a file with an absolute path. Example:

index index.$geo.html index.0.html /index.html;

It should be noted that using an index file causes an internal redirect, and the request can be processed in a different location. For example, with the following configuration:

location = / { index index.html; }

location / { ... }

a “/” request will actually be processed in the second location as “/index.html”.
