Hello there, I'm trying to protect one sub directory with basic_auth and I having some troubles. My config for virtualhost looks like this: root /var/www/site.ru/; index index.php index.html index.htm location ~ .php$ { fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/site.ru$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; gzip_static on; } location /somewhere/ { auth_basic "Restricted area"; auth_basic_user_file /var/www/site.ru/somewhere/.htpasswd; } What I'm trying to do is to force user enter his credentials when he's trying to access /somewhere. If you're knocking to http://site.ru/somewhere, authorization works like a charm, but when I tried to access some particular script (http://site.ru/somewhere/index.php, for instance), authorization isn't working (login prompt just went missing). My guess is that first general location is overriding second's options, but I failed to fix this. I'm using vanilla nginx 1.0.11 and php5-fpm from Dotdeb. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?11,221820,221820#msg-221820Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:44:12 -0400 Phorum 5.2.16 http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?11,221820,221820#msg-221820 http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?11,221820,221820#msg-221820
I'm trying to protect one sub directory with basic_auth and I having some troubles.
My config for virtualhost looks like this:

root /var/www/site.ru/;
index index.php index.html index.htm

location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/site.ru$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
gzip_static on;
}

location /somewhere/ {
auth_basic "Restricted area";
auth_basic_user_file /var/www/site.ru/somewhere/.htpasswd;
}

What I'm trying to do is to force user enter his credentials when he's trying to access /somewhere. If you're knocking to http://site.ru/somewhere, authorization works like a charm, but when I tried to access some particular script (http://site.ru/somewhere/index.php, for instance), authorization isn't working (login prompt just went missing).
