Need help with converting from Apache

Hi All,

I have a site that uses phpcms - and the nginx setup for it is below -
and it works.

server {
listen 80;
#
server_name domain.com www.domain.com ;
root /var/www/domain.com/htdocs;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
access_log /var/www/domain.com/access.log;

#
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;

# send  (*.htm)  to /parser/parser.php?file=%1
location ~* \.htm$ {
   rewrite ^(.*\.htm)$ /parser/parser.php?file=$1;
}
# all .php requests to fastcgi
location ~ \.php$ {
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
}
#  request password for stats
location ^~ /usage/ {
    auth_basic "Hello, please login";
    auth_basic_user_file /var/www/domain.com/passwords;

}
}

When apache was serving the site, the /parser directory had a .htaccess
file in it that stopped any files being served, but it did not stop the
requests
for /parser/parser.php?params being actioned via the rewrite.

How can I add the same here?

Thanks

Ian

p.s nginx version 0.6.35

Bump. Anybody.

How can I let php execute /parser/parser.php and stop nginx serving
anything else in /parser and sub-directories, except
/parser/gif/* which should be permitted?

Thanks

Ian

If you are trying to stop direct requests to a directory the best way is
to remove the directory from a web accessible area and then have the
script access the non web accessible area.
