Question

I am unable to run .html files on my Ubuntu 12.04 server running with Nginx and php-fpm.

What I get is Access denied, when executing .html extension files. .php files runs very well.

Here is my config code.

nginx.conf

user www-data;
worker_processes 4; # Make this equal to no of processors you have "cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep processor" @mayur
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {
        worker_connections 2048; # Essential to keep it high for heavy sites @mayur
        # multi_accept on;
}

http {

        ##
        # Basic Settings
        ##

        sendfile on;
        tcp_nopush on;
        tcp_nodelay on;
        keepalive_timeout 65;
        types_hash_max_size 2048;
        server_tokens on; #Make this off Live Server for Security Reasons: @mayur

        # server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
        # server_name_in_redirect off;

        include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
        default_type application/octet-stream;

        ##
        # Logging Settings
        ##

        access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

        log_format      main    '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] $request '
                        '"$status" $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                        '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
        ##

        ##

        gzip on;
        gzip_disable "msie6";

See here : https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60763 You need to add to the /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf inside the [www] section

security.limit_extensions = .php .html
