Hallo,

I want a login for this location.

    location /TEST/ {
       alias /www/c2c/;
       }

With

  location /TEST/ {
       alias /www/c2c/;
       auth_basic "Test Auth";
      }

no username/password box in the browser. I see the index.html site from
the
c2c folder


With

    location /TEST/ {
       alias /www/c2c/;
       auth_basic "Test Auth";
       auth_basic_user_file /nginx/conf/htpasswd;
       }

and an "404 Not Found" error shows the browser.

I use  nginx 1.7.2

Where is the problem?

This is expected.  Both auth_basic and auth_basic_user_file must
be set for auth_basic to work.

This likely indicate you have some error_page's configured, and
they intercept "401 Unauthorized" returned.  Try looking into your
configs and into error log.

Hallo Maxim,

thanks. I copy some errorpages in the custom errorpage folder and all is
OK.
