Nginx

Nginx options can be set for the virtual host selected in the table. These options are security-related!

Note

You cannot make changes to the Nginx settings unless the host is set to Nginx on the Settings › Hosts › General tab.

• Directory index

  Determine which file Nginx should serve if no filename is given in a URL. By default, it is either index.html or index.php.

• AutoIndex

  Enables or disables directory browsing. If there is no index.html, index.php, etc., in the document root, the contents of the folder are displayed when this option is enabled. Without this option, nothing will be displayed or an error message will appear.
