Basic question...

[Ray]

Perhaps placing the root and index directives one level higher (i.e.
within the server block) instead of at location / would be better.
Just customise the individual locations within the server.

server {
    ...
    ...
    root   /var/www/localhost/htdocs;
    index  index.html index.htm;

    location / {
        allow all;
    }

    ...
    ...
}


Ray.
