Nginx Installation on Ubuntu giving 500 error
- by user750301
I just installed nginx on ubuntu 12.04 LTS. When i access localhost it gives me :
500 Internal Server Error
nginx/1.2.3
error_log has following
rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to "/index.html", client: 127.0.0.1, server: localhost, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost"
This is default nginx configuration:
nginx.conf has:
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default has following
root /usr/share/nginx/www;
index index.html index.htm;
# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name localhost;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
# Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location
# include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules
}
