Research direction

Open the HTML static application documentation at docs/core/html and review the configuration steps for the linked example repository. Document that the domain’s Internal Path must be /html, then verify that following the complete instructions loads the repository’s Hello World index.html instead of the default Nginx page.

Description

bug
To Reproduce

The HTML static application documentation instructs users to configure:

However, the instructions do not mention setting the domain’s Internal Path to /html.

Following the documented steps results in the default “Welcome to nginx!” page being displayed. Setting Internal Path to /html makes the expected “Hello world” page load correctly.

Current vs. Expected behavior

Current behaviour:

Following the docs results in the "Welcome to Nginx!" screen

Expected behaviour:

Following the docs results in the "Hello World" index.html from the git repo
