Hi there,

Your

will handle all requests that start with /administrator/; that location
does not do any special handling of php requests; all it will do is
serve files from the filesystem.

Depending on how you want the requests handled, possibly removing the
"^~" will work (that would mean that any requests that match other
regex-location{}s will not be handled in this location); or possibly
creating a nested regex location for "~php" within this location will
work (with contents very like the "main" php location).


(Your config seems to want basic authentication for "file" requests,
but not for "php" requests; that may well be what you intend.) (And the
limit_except lines seem redundant with the "if ($request_method" line;
but if what you have works, it works.)

Good luck with it,
