Permissions guide with Nginx when serving static files on Ubuntu 22.04
After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out. I've been banging my head against this for hours... I'm working with a `403 Forbidden` behavior when trying to serve static files through Nginx on my Ubuntu 22.04 server. The Nginx configuration is set up to serve files from `/var/www/html`, and I've double-checked that the files exist there. Here’s the relevant part of my Nginx config: ```nginx server { listen 80; server_name mywebsite.com; location / { root /var/www/html; index index.html; } } ``` The directory permissions are set to `755` for `/var/www/html` and `644` for the files within it. I've also ensured that the Nginx user (`www-data`) has read access to these files. When I test it by running `sudo -u www-data cat /var/www/html/index.html`, it outputs the file contents without scenario. However, when I try to access `http://mywebsite.com`, I still get the `403 Forbidden` response. The behavior log shows: ``` 2023/10/10 14:35:12 [behavior] 12345#12345: *1 directory index of "/var/www/html/" is forbidden, client: 192.168.1.1, server: mywebsite.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "mywebsite.com" ``` I've tried restarting Nginx with `sudo systemctl restart nginx` and even reloading the configuration with `sudo nginx -s reload`. Additionally, I checked the AppArmor status and confirmed that it is in complain mode for Nginx. I’m at a loss for what could be causing this scenario. Any insights or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated! Am I missing something obvious? I'm working with Nginx in a Docker container on macOS. Is this even possible?
