Hello Everybody, I need some help ... Currently I am allowing authentication to the /administrator folder by (and this working fine for me): location /administrator { <tmpl_var name='web_document_root_www_proxy'> index index.html index.php; auth_basic "Members Only"; auth_basic_user_file <tmpl_var name='stats_auth_passwd_file'>; } However, the problem with that is if a user installs say Joomla in a subfolder within root eg /joomla/ then that setting does not take effect. I would like to take effect to any administrator folder accessed via the web regardless of the folder level . Ie, www.domain.com/administrator www.domain.com/joomla/administrator www.domain.com/joomla/site2/administrator and etc .. ALL those should be authenticated based on my .htaccess file defined above. Please advice me on how I can modify the above directive to support that ...
