I suspect that the "$uri/index.html" there may cause you problems. You
may be better off using "$uri/" instead.

What url did you access to get this message?

What file on the filesystem did you want it to serve for that url?

You may need to use "alias" rather than "root"; but that should become
clear when you describe the url -> filename mapping that you want.
