I am new to nginx.
I have followed the tutorial at http://kbeezie.com/protecting-folders-with-nginx/ to password protect a directory using nginx.
I have many domains in the nginx configuration file and all those have 'admin' directory like /home/domain.com/public_html/admin
I have this code in each of the domain server block.
server {
server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
listen xxx.xx.xx.xxx;
root /home/domain.com/public_html;
location ~/admin {
auth_basic "Admin Login";
auth_basic_user_file /home/domain.com/public_html/admin/.htpasswd;
}
# This will deny access to any hidden file (beginning with a .period)
location ~ /\. { deny all; }
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
Is it possible to keep this code in the top server block so that it applies to all the admin directories for all domains ? (without keeping this code in each of the domain server blocks ?)
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
# code to password protect all admin directories in all domains
}
I don't mind using the same password for all admin directories.
Please suggest.
