Nginx Directory Listing - Restrict by IP Address

[Sathish Kumar]

Hi Prajith,

I had tried this option but autoindex is not allowed under if statement.

location / {
  root /downloads;
if ($allowed = 1)
{
     autoindex on;
}

}

Error:
"autoindex" directive is not allowed here in domain.conf



Thanks & Regards
Sathish.V
