itimpi Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Since we now have the nginx web server installed as default in unRAID, I was wondering if I could add some additional web sites of my own to it. At first glance it looked as all I would have to do is to drop some additional server configuration files into the /etc/nginx/conf.d folder. I tried adding a web server along the lines of: server { listen 8008; server_name "EBOOKS"; access_log /var/log/nginx/ebooks.access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/ebooks.error.log; location / { root /mnt/user/EBOOKS; index index.html index.htm; auth_basic off; } } When I do this and restart the nginx daemon I find that the port is now recognised, but I get a "403 Forbidden" error trying to access the index.html file. I can also add an htpasswd generated file to try and use basic authentication and then I get challenged for a username/passwd as expected, but still do not get into my web site. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Is there something else I am going to have to do to get my own servers added to nginx or is it something that is not going to be very easy without upsetting the unRAID GUI? Ideally I would like SSL access, but for this particular purpose HTTP would be fine. Quote Link to comment
