AutoIndex | automated directory listing of folders and files on a web | Runtime Evironment library

I am looking at an .htaccess file in a project that I'm helping with and it appears that some of the code in it is redundant. Can it be cleaned-up a bit? Here's the code:

I have a schema where I'm trying to generate a nanoid to show on the front end. (The default MongoDB ObjectID is too long to display to users.)

What I've done is to insert it into my schema as a default value that generates a new string each time an instance of the model is created.

These are the instructions provided by the nanoid docs for dealing with Mongoose

I have an old site which has been upgraded to an SPA frontend, so now the URLs to access certain records use the hash, so the URLs changed from like example.com/aq/12345 => example.com/#/aq/12345

This is already working fine, but I also wanted to set up a redirect so that anyone who had the old URLs would be redirected to the new URLs. I tried setting up the rewrite like this:

I have been trying to solve this error for almost 13 hours, looking for thousands of stackoverflow questions and questions of other communities but I still can't find the answer.
What I'm trying to do is solve nginx not serving static files.
as I said on the top, I tried thousands of answers and none of them seem to work for me.

I post only the scripts in nginx /sites-available/ because I think that is the primary script for this question.

here's my problem. I have added this code to my nginx.conf:

I am trying to figure out how to get all of the items in a mongodb if they are matching what is trying to be found.

For example, if I want the name with "Steve" and I put "St" it will return "Steve"

I have tried:

I keep getting 403 forbidden access error when trying to access any project within htdocs folder. I even downloaded a vanilla CodeIgniter 3 project and got the same result. I'm using apache 2.4.

Question: Once a Model has been created in Mongoose is there a way to update the Model and add the new key/values to documents that were previously saved?

In the example below documents containing dataName, data1, data2, data3 are stored in the DB. Later I updated the Model to include data4 and data5. All new documents were stored with the additional keys. However old documents didn't automatically get an empty data4 and data5. Other than doing it manually how would I add these keys to previously saved documents?
