nginx - 403 Forbidden
You have your /pma and /mda in a non standard location (for CentOS) in /srv/http
the problems you're seeing could be related to SELinux.
A quick test is to configure SELinux for permissive mode
setenforce 0
Test to see if your pages work correctly. If they do then you need to configure the correct context for /srv/http
semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t "/srv/httpd(/.*)?"
restorecon -rv /srv/http
setenforce 1
Test again and hopefully you're good to go.

I've trouble to get aliases working correctly on nginx. When i try to access the aliases, /pma and /mba (see secure.example.com.conf), i get a 403 Forbidden but the base url works correctly.
I read a lot of posts but nothing helped, so here i am.
Nginx and php-fpm are running as www-data:www-data and the permissions for the directories are set to:
drwxrwsr-x+ 5 www-data www-data 4.0K Dec 5 22:48 ./ drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4.0K Dec 4 22:50 ../ drwxrwsr-x+ 2 www-data www-data 4.0K Dec 5 13:10 mda.example.com/ drwxrwsr-x+ 11 www-data www-data 4.0K Dec 5 10:34 pma.example.com/ drwxrwsr-x+ 3 www-data www-data 4.0K Dec 5 11:49 www.example.com/ lrwxrwxrwx. 1 www-data www-data 18 Dec 5 09:56 secure.example.com -> www.example.com/
Im sorry for the bulk, but i thought better too much than too little.
Here are the configuration files:
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
user www-data www-data; worker_processes 1; error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; #error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log notice; #error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log info; pid /var/run/nginx.pid; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { include /etc/nginx/mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" ' '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" ' '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"'; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main; sendfile on; keepalive_timeout 65; include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*; }
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/secure.example.com
server { listen 80; server_name secure.example.com; return 301 https://$host$request_uri; } server { listen 443; server_name secure.example.com; access_log /var/log/nginx/secure.example.com.access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/secure.example.com.error.log; root /srv/http/secure.example.com; include /etc/nginx/ssl/secure.example.com.conf; include /etc/nginx/conf.d/index.conf; include /etc/nginx/conf.d/php-ssl.conf; autoindex off; location /pma/ { alias /srv/http/pma.example.com; } location /mda/ { alias /srv/http/mda.example.com; } }
/etc/nginx/ssl/secure.example.com.conf

/etc/nginx/conf.d/index.conf
index index.php index.html index.htm;
/etc/nginx/conf.d/php-ssl.conf
location ~ \.php$ { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param HTTPS on; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename; include fastcgi_params; }
/var/log/nginx/secure.example.com.error.log
2013/12/05 22:49:04 [error] 29291#0: *2 directory index of "/srv/http/pma.example.com" is forbidden, client: 176.199.78.88, server: secure.example.com, request: "GET /pma/ HTTP/1.1", host: "secure.example.com"
EDIT: forgot to mention, i'm running CentOS 6.4 x86_64 and nginx 1.0.15
Thanks in advance!

michell90 over 10 yearsThank you for answering! I set SELiunx to permissive and after that didn't work i also disabled it, but I still get the 403. The error log says nginx tries directory listing and that is the reason why i get the 403 but nginx shouldn't even try because i set the index to index.php index.html. I also tried to set the index again in the location section of /pma and /mda but it's also being ignored. Furthermore i tried adding index.php to the end of the URL (/pma/index.php) and then i got a 404.

michell90 over 10 years@lain Yes, the permissions shown at the top of my post are set recursively with chmod and chown. I changed my configuration again and deleted the "/" at the end of the alias, now it looks like: location /pma. Now it processes index.html correctly, but when it comes to an php file i still get the 404. So now the problem seems to be my php-fpm. But i don't understand why nginx behave like this, also i'm pretty sure i already tried this and earlier it didn't work. I'm a bit confused right now. Btw: I get the same behavior at my worksation where i run ArchLinux.
