Question "autoindex on;" only works for complete website?

[Bitpalast]

Directory listing can be activated through additional Nginx directives, but it seems that it only works for the website as a whole, not for specific subdiretories.

Example:

autoindex on;

works. But

location /download {
        autoindex on;
}

or

location /download/ {
        autoindex on;
}

or

location /var/www/vhosts/subscription/httpdocs/download {
        autoindex on;
}

do not work.

Can someone confirm that as a bug? Or are the directives used wrong? According to some Plesk FAQ articles and Nginx documentation they should be correct, but we cannot get directory listing to work other than with the first example, which then applies to ALL directories of the site.

Hi Peter Debik,

unfortunatetly, you are correct - should be considered as a bug, so a bug - report is needed.
Did you tried that on Plesk 12.5 as well? If yes, with the same result, you could consider to leave a commet at: => https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/214528485
