config file for only static files.

Thanks for the reply Aleks!

I changed my conf to have www www. I put this at the top of my conf:

user www www;

Now, to confirm:

DX-20070509-049# ps aux | grep nginx
root  84389  0.0  0.1  2040  1632  ??  Is    3:44AM   0:00.00 nginx: master
process ./nginx
www   84390  0.0  0.1  2360  1968  ??  S     3:44AM   0:00.03 nginx: worker
process (nginx)
www   84391  0.0  0.1  2360  1968  ??  S     3:44AM   0:00.02 nginx: worker
process (nginx)
www   84392  0.0  0.1  2360  1968  ??  S     3:44AM   0:00.03 nginx: worker
process (nginx)
www   84393  0.0  0.1  2360  2020  ??  S     3:44AM   0:00.02 nginx: worker
process (nginx)
www   84394  0.0  0.1  2360  1968  ??  S     3:44AM   0:00.02 nginx: worker
process (nginx)
root  84407  0.0  0.0  1552  1036  p0  R+    3:46AM   0:00.00 grep nginx

And finally, the permissions:

DX-20070509-049# cd /usr/local/www
DX-20070509-049# ll
total 14
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    27 Apr  2 21:41 cgi-bin ->
/usr/local/www/cgi-bin-dist
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   512 Apr  2 21:41 cgi-bin-dist
drwxr-xr-x  9 root  www    3584 Apr  6 03:45 data
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1024 Apr  2 21:41 data-dist
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  3584 Apr  2 21:41 icons
drwxr-xr-x  2 www   www     512 Apr  6 03:25 proxy

It seems www has permissions to /usr/local/www/data

My error log shows this :

2008/04/06 03:44:38 [error] 84393#0: *1 directory index of
"/usr/local/www/data/" is forbidden
