nginx returning 404 not found for GET request
Question
I have the following nginx.conf for my nginx server
http {
server {
listen 80;
location /service_data {
root /opt;
index service_state;
}
}
}
events {}
When I do
curl ip_address:80
nginx returns its standard output, which is OK. But when I try
curl ip_address:80/service_data
it returns the following
<html>
<head><title>404 Not Found</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>404 Not Found</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)</center>
</body>
</html>
however the contents of my file /opt/service_state
First line
Second line
which is just a plain text.
I expected the following behavior:
curl ip_address:80/service_data
which returns
First line
Second line
Am I wrong with my nginx.conf? How do I get the expected behavior?
EDIT:
nginx -T prints the following
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
# configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:
http {
server {
listen 80;
location /service_data {
root /opt;
index service_state;
}
}
}
events {}

According to the nginx documentation :
The root directive specifies the root directory that will be used to search for a file. To obtain the path of a requested file, NGINX appends the request URI to the path specified by the root directive.
So you could change the location to:
location /service_state {
root /opt;
# index service_state;
}
Or change the file name:
service_state -> service_data
