I have done just as in the tutorials but is simply not working:
server {
location /abc {
autoindex on;
root /home/user/abc/;
}
}
It gives me 403 Forbidden, what I'm doing wrong? thanks; I've tried to use a "/" at the end, and also without but no changes.
When I go to myip/abc I hope to see some directory list but no. Even if I try to go to myip/abc/myfile.txt it doesnt work.

The problem is that by using the root instead of alias it will look in the wrong path. Also in the http the user was www-something and has had no permissions, thanks ubuntu, so now I had to change to my name and it worked:
- Alias instead of root for the right path
- Define the right user that has permissions to the folder you want
