Protected Directories

I everything set up on my server following this tutorial

Code:

https://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig-autoinstall-debian-ubuntu/

I have ISPConfig set up with a subdomain cp.domain.ca then also through the Admin account Ive set up my main site domain.ca. When I tried to view the web stats at domain.ca/stats/ I was brought to a Protected Directory page asking for a username and password, I of course just tried my admin details which brought me to a 403 error page. where can these details be found for directory permission? also now I cant access the directory unless I use incognito.

 

If you want your stats available without a password but not publicly available, only to specific ip's ...

Apache:
Add this in your website settings under the Options tab >> Apache directives

Code:

<Location /stats>
    Require ip 12.34.556.78
    Require ip 98:76:54:32
</Location>

Nginx:
Add this in your website settings under the Options tab >> Nginx directives

Code:

location /stats {
    allow 12.34.556.78;
    allow 98:76:54:32;
    deny all;
}

 

thank you remkoh, ill try this if after 24 hours it hasn't propagated.

 

It has no influance on the propagation of your stats.
Just an alternative to restrict access to it.
If your stats stil aren't propagated after 24h than there's something fundamentally wrong with your server installation.

 

Stats are working and the login page isn't being prompted either now.
