[SOLVED] nginx 403 Forbidden error

nginx 403 Forbidden error

I'm trying to set up graphite to work with grafana in docker based on this project : https://github.com/kamon-io/docker-grafana-graphite

and when I run my dockerfile I get 403 Forbidden error for nginx.

my configurations for nginx are almost the same as the project's configurations. I run my dockerfiles on a server and test them on my windows machine. So the configurations are not exactly the same ... for example I have :

server {
listen 80 default_server;
server_name _;
location / {
  root /src/grafana/dist;
  index index.html;
}
location /graphite/ {
    proxy_pass                 http:/myserver:8000/;
    proxy_set_header           X-Real-IP   $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header           X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header           X-Forwarded-Proto  $scheme;
    proxy_set_header           X-Forwarded-Server  $host;
    proxy_set_header           X-Forwarded-Host  $host;
    proxy_set_header           Host  $host;

    client_max_body_size       10m;
    client_body_buffer_size    128k;

    proxy_connect_timeout      90;
    proxy_send_timeout         90;
    proxy_read_timeout         90;

    proxy_buffer_size          4k;
    proxy_buffers              4 32k;
    proxy_busy_buffers_size    64k;
    proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;

    add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*";
    add_header Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, OPTIONS";
    add_header Access-Control-Allow-Headers "origin, authorization, accept";
}

But I still keep getting 403 forbidden. Checking the error log for nginx says :

 directory index of "/src/grafana/dist/" is forbidden

Stopping and running it again it says :

 directory index of "/src/grafana/dist/" is forbidden

I'm very new to nginx ... was wondering if there's something in the configurations that I'm misunderstanding.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

That's because you are hitting the first location block and the index file is not found.
