Password protection and fastcgi

Server NGINX
1

Hello,

i have a problem with a password protected folder and fastcgi php:
server {
root /foo/;
…
location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_pass foo;
include fastcgi_parms;
}
location ^~ /passwordprotected {
auth_basic “foo”;
auth_basic_user_file foo;
}
}

The protection works fine, but php don’t work. Then i added the
fastcgi_pass part to my new location, but then images will be parsed
too.

What’s the right way to protect folders?

Thanks

The right way is to add the auth basic directives to the PHP location as
nginx will only ever execute one location. So in your pasted config, if
nginx gets a request for /passwordprotected/index.php then it won’t be
protected.

Of course, if you only want PHP files in that directory to be protected
then you need a 2nd PHP location.

Thanks,

how can i add them to the same direction? I don’t want to protect all
files, ionly files in the specific folder.
Something like that don’t work:

server {
root /foo/;
…
location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_pass foo;
include fastcgi_parms;

location ^~ /passwordprotected {
auth_basic “foo”;
auth_basic_user_file foo;
}

}

}

Thanks

}

  location ~ \.php$ {
      fastcgi_pass foo;
      include fastcgi_parms;
  }

}
