For testing your statically site, and perhaps for production too if you are self-hosting, you will need a configuration for either nginx or Apache. These are the configurations that have worked for me.
nginx
# Default server configuration # server { listen 80 default_server; # Replace with 443 if using SSL listen [::]:80 default_server; # Replace with 443 if using SSL # SSL configuration - uncomment this section if you are using https #ssl_certificate {{ path_to_your_certificate }}; #ssl_certificate_key {{ path_to_your_certificate_key }}; #ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; #ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5; root {{ path_to_your_docroot }}; index index.html; server_name {{ your_server_name }}; location / { # First attempt to serve request as file, then # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404. try_files $uri $uri/ =404; } # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root # concurs with nginx's one # location ~ /\.ht { deny all; } }
Apache
<VirtualHost *:80> # change this to 443 is you are using ssl ServerName {{ your_server_name }} DocumentRoot "{{ path_to_your_docroot }}" DirectoryIndex index.html # Uncomment out the block below for https #SSLEngine on #SSLCertificateFile "{{ path_to_your_certificate }}" #SSLCertificateKeyFile "{{ path_to_your_certificate_key }}" <Directory "{{ path_to_your_docroot }}"> AllowOverride All </Directory> # Logs Errorlog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/{{ your site }}.error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/{{ your site }}.access.log combined </VirtualHost>
