Hello,

I'm new to Nginx and I have a basic problem. In short my "index.htm" isn't dynamically loading on any sub-directories other than root.

For example, "http://www.mydomain.com/" will load the index.htm page just fine. However, "http://www.mydomain.com/subdirectory/" will not load
the associated index.htm. I have to manually specify ".../index.htm" within the URL for the page to load. This can't be right/normal.

My nginx.conf has this within the server declaration:

location / {
root /var/www/localhost/htdocs;
index index.html index.htm;
allow all;
}

location ~* ^.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif)$ {
root /var/www/localhost/htdocs;
access_log off;
expires 30d;
}

What am I missing? This has become a show-stopper for my project so your help is *very* much appreciated!

Thank you!
