Once I’ve seen this before when I type a URL http://test.com/test/, instead of give me a html page, it gives me a ‘file browser’ like interface to browse all the files in the given location.

I think it maybe a nginx module that could be enable in the location context.

The nginx.conf file:

worker_processes  1;
events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}
http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
    sendfile        on;
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  122.97.248.252;
                location /test {
                        root /home/yozloy/html/;
                        autoindex on;
                }
        error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
            root   html;
        }
    }
}

update the error.log

2012/05/19 20:48:33 [error] 20357#0: *72 open() “/home/yozloy/html/test” failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 125.43.236.33, server: 122.97.248.252, request: “GET /test HTTP/1.1”, host: “unicom2.markson.hk

I must misunderstand the location /test mean, I thought it meant when I type http://example.com/test, then it would access the root dictionary which is /home/yozloy/html/

    You should try ngx_http_autoindex_module.

    Set autoindex option to on. It is off by default.

    Your example configuration should be ok

    location /{ 
   root /home/yozloy/html/; 
   index index.html; 
   autoindex on;
}

    Without autoindex option you should be getting Error 403 for requests that end with / on directories that do not have an index.html file. With this option you should be getting a simple listing:

    <html>
<head><title>Index of /</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<h1>Index of /test/</h1><hr><pre><a href="../">../</a>
<a href="test.txt">test.txt</a>                 19-May-2012 10:43            0
</pre><hr></body>
</html>

    Edit: Updated the listing to delete any references to test
