Password protect folder nginx

Hi,

Is it possible to password protect a folder via ISPConfig control panel for a site on an nginx server?

 

Just tried it, didn't realise you have to also setup a user too to see if it works

 

I've added munin the added the following to the directive and it works:

Code:

location /munin {
    alias /var/cache/munin/www;
  }

When setting up a password for the /munin folder it shows a username and password as expected but when the correct info is entered a ERROR 403 - Forbidden! is shown?

 

This is the error on the error.log

Code:

2018/02/10 14:00:50 [error] 5721#5721: *188 directory index of "/var/www/server1.example.com/web/munin/" is forbidden, client: 86.4.188.88, server: server1.example.com, request: "GET /munin/ HTTP/1.1", host: "server1.example.com"

 

got it to work by getting munin to use:

Code:

/var/www/server1.example.com/web/munin

instead of:

Code:

/var/cache/munin/www

and did:

Code:

chown munin:munin /var/www/server1.example.com/web/munin

/var/www/server1.example.com/web was already created in the sites module as shown on:

phpmyadmin is server on the following url on my server:
https://server1.example.com:8081/phpmyadmin/

why does adding /phpadmin to the password protected folders not work even after adding a user?
even adding the path /usr/share/phpmyadmin is not allowed?

 

so can it be protected vi the control panel or do I have to manually add the password protection in the apps vhost file?
