I recently moved my CentOS 7 machine from an Apache web server to an nginx web server, and I'm still working out various issues as I learn the in's and out's of nginx. One issue I have stumbled upon is that text files, such as robots.txt, appear to be unaccessible in my public web root directory.
My server block configuration is as follows:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
root /var/www/example.com/public_html;
index index.php;
access_log /var/www/example.com/logs/example.com_access.log;
error_log /var/www/example.com/logs/example.com_error.log error;
location / {
index index.php index.html;
}
location /reports {
autoindex on;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
error_page 404 /var/www/html/404.html;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /var/www/html/50x.html;
location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {
expires max;
log_not_found off;
}
location /robots.txt {
#access_log off;
#log_not_found off;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
I am confused about why text files would be inaccessible. I figured this was a problem with me using PHP, but I couldn't determine what might be blocking access to the file.
I also can't check my log files (yet) because this server block doesn't seem to be writing to my logs, but that's in another question.
What could be going on here?
