Hello Nginx'ler,

we migrated from Apache2 to nginx and all is working so far.
The only thing what we dont get working is to deny php for some directorys.

Anybody know how to do that?

Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english.

Just add a location block prior to where you're hitting your first php block. The order of location blocks matters. I believe regex takes precedence and the more refined one also takes more precedence. This means that a location block prior to handle this will keep that from happening.

Example:

location /private_php/ { return 403; }
location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php; }

.
