  • Migrating 'static only' site over from webfaction - access to subdirectories

Hi! I'm migrating a 'static only' website over, in Webfaction parlance. The application root folder had no index.html file, rather there were a bunch of subfolders that each had their own index.html files.
I just created a Nginx Static Only site on OS, and I can no longer access the subdirectories directly from the browser (404) -- how can I enable this functionality?
Thanks! (and thanks for all the help and support during this shake up!!)

    playdo that's not available at the moment but it's already our list of stuff to do. I'll make a note of your interest on our internal feature ticket.

      Apparently it works now… but is there a better way to have clean URLs without .html (with a "nginx static only" app)?

        Not sure what you mean by that. We still do not allow directory listings for static-only apps.

        There are no URL rewriting options available for static apps at this time.

              Sorry, I didn't understand that it was about the listing of the root folder, I thought it was about accessing the index.html in a folder without specifying index.html in the URL.
