V2: Directory index not appearing

[jakobbg (Jakob Breivik Grimstveit)]

1. My Caddy version (caddy version):

(devel)

➜ caddy git:(master) git config --get remote.origin.url
https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy.git
➜ caddy git:(master) git rev-parse HEAD
e051e119d1dff75972ed9b07cf97bbb989ba8daa
➜ caddy git:(master) ./cmd/caddy/caddy version
(devel)

2. How I run Caddy:

sudo ~jakobbg/storage/Files/caddy/cmd/caddy/caddy run --config /usr/local/www/Caddyfile

a. System environment:

➜ caddy git:(master) uname -a
FreeBSD core24.grimstveit.no 12.1-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p4 3a7a11c8023(releng/12.1) CORE24 amd64

d. My complete Caddyfile or JSON config:

{
    email jakob@grimstveit.no
}

grimstveit.no {
    root * /data/www/docs/www.grimstveit.no
    encode zstd gzip
    log
    php_fastcgi 127.0.0.1:9000
    file_server browse
}

3. The problem I’m having:

I’d like to replace php74, mod_apache, mod_userdir and mod_access (.htaccess). Currently not able to serve both php files using php_fastcgi and file_server at the same time from the same directory tree, as Apache2 would let me. I’d like, for example grimstveit.no/test to be browseable with automatic directory index without any php (not working!), grimstveit.no/test/script.php to be runnable via php_fastcgi (works) and grimstveit.no/test/file.txt to be output directly from file_server (works).

Currently I just get the HTML content of https://grimstveit.no/ (but no images are loaded) when I navigate to Index of /test

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

5. What I already tried:

Tried reading docs, sorting the config file differently, but seems like I have to disable php_fastcgi in order to make “file_server browse” work. And I would actually BOTH to work in tandem, with only php_fastcgi to kick in when necessary.

What you’re running into is that the php_fastcgi directive is a shortcut that expands out to this config:

php_fastcgi (Caddyfile directive) - Caddy Documentation

I think what’s specifically causing you trouble is the try_files rewrite. It sounds like you’re not using index.php files as fallback routes, so this might do the wrong thing for you.

I recommend you use just the parts that you need from that expanded form for now. We have a PR in the works that should make the php_fastcgi directive more configurable, slated for Caddy v2.1:

fastcgi: Add new `php_fastcgi` subdirectives to override shortcut behaviour
