    Quick reminder for NGINX and using HTACCESS for password protecting a file

    Obviously this is easy enough to look up on google these days, but I thought I would write it here so I remember where to find it. If it helps anyone else along the way then that is a double bonus as it were.

    Nginx
    server {
      listen 443 ssl;
      server_name servername;
      client_max_body_size    64M;
    
      ...
      
      index index.php index.html;
    
      # The path is relative to the site root, you can
      # also do this to directories, but don't forget to
      # check the fastcgi settings.
      
      location ~ /filename.ext {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        auth_basic           "Administrator’s Only";
        auth_basic_user_file /path/to/.htpasswd;
      }
    }
    

    I hope that helps, it always helps me when I write stuff down anyway 🙂
