I have just installed nginx to serve my website. When I load the page I am getting

403 Forbidden

for some images, response Headers have

Content-Type: text/html

I have checked the mime.types file and I have found a record

image/png         png;

How can I change the Content-type for those images to png ?

Check your logfiles, a 403 has nothing to do with a mime type. – itpp13 Jul 01 '15 at 12:55

may be caused by privileges, u can try `chmod 644 *.png`. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20182329/nginx-is-throwing-an-403-forbidden-on-static-files – Fancyoung Nov 27 '15 at 07:12
This question came up from my google search and `chmod 644 *.png` fixed it for me. Thanks @Fancyoung – M Stefan Walker Oct 20 '22 at 19:57
