I have a couple of static sites where I want to just use them to hold files. On Webfaction I had a PHP app I would just add a .htaccess file and add Options +Indexes as the content, to allow me to browse that directory and see the files there.
On OpalStack, I've set up a PHP-FPM app, but trying to open the directory as a URL seems to produce errors - a 403 Forbidden from nginx when I mount it directly on a subdomain of its own, and a 404 Not Found from Apache when I mount it as a subdirectory on a domain that already has a Wordpress app on it.
Is this deliberate? (I appreciate there are sometimes security concerns about opening up indexes.) And can it be worked around? I'm particularly intrigued by the different HTTP error codes too!
