Public bug reported: In nginx package 0.8.54-4 (and I think in next versions too), by default apt put the lines:
location /doc { root /usr/share; autoindex on; allow 127.0.0.1; deny all; } in /etc/nginx/site-enabled/default This is wrong: we have to change "location /doc" for "location /doc/". Else, if we add a directory starting with "doc" (for example "doci") in /var/www, we receive error 404 from nginx. It's clear a wrong configuration line. Regards, Xan.
