Hi all,

I'm trying to set up basic authentication to protect an area of the website served by php.

The critical bits of my server directive are.

server ( listen 80; server_name site.com www.site.com; root /var/www/site.com/htdocs; index index.php index.html index.htm; access_log /var/www/site.com/access.log;

location ~ \.php { include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; }

location ^~ /usage/ { auth_basic "Hello, Please login"; auth_basic_user_file /var/www/site.com/passwords; }

location ^~ /ppg/ { auth_basic "Hello, Please login"; auth_basic_user_file /var/www/site.com/passwords; } }

The directory /usage/ does NOT contain any php files and works just fine.

The directory /ppg/ contains index.php - which is sent to the browser, not to fastcgi :(

So how can I configure it. (If basic-auth cannot work, it would be ok to use allow and deny all.)

I'm using nginx 0.6.35

Thanks

Ian
