how to remove default nginx index.html response
August 11, 2021 04:30AM
This is my nginx config https://paste.nginx.org/3c i have removed the default server block and yet i still get the /var/www/html/index.nginx-debian.html being handed out by nginx when i visit https://shstats.teliot.dev/index.html when i change the index.html to search.php i get an expected not found response from the target apache server. the apache target server does not have nginx at all or any file that says nginx. it is a fresh install. this is all on my local network using the host file to point to the nginx server in a lab environment and confirmed with curl.

Thanks in advance!

Attached is the default page I am unable to remove from the configs.

This is what I get when I curl.

root@test:~# curl -i https://shstats.teliot.dev/index.html --resolve shstats.teliot.dev:443:192.168.51.58 --ins

I found the issue was that nginx -V showed the compile time --prefix=/usr/share/nginx was passed to nginx by my distro. this folder has an html folder that is used when a root directive is missing from your server block.

I had already tried the following config but now that I think I know what the issue is I am sure I can figure it out.

server {
listen 443 ssl default_Server;
return 444;
}
