I am new to Nginx. Now I have a confusion on nginx configurations:



My web site contains folders in different locations:



location / 
root /Path1;


location ^~ /download
alias /Path2;



When I query http://mysite/download, I am accessing the content of /Path2 instead of /Path1



Now I want to add a sub-directory under download containing my private files, and I want to add password protection. So I add:



location /download/personal 
auth_basic "Admin Login";
auth_basic_user_file Path_to_htpasswd;



But I got 404 error when querying http://mysite/download/personal after key in my credentials. According to nginx error log, I am directed to /Path1/download/personal, which does not exist. How can I configure nginx, such that all access to http://mysite/download/* will be directed to the same directory in /Path2?



Update:



I may find a solution: just put the sub-directory configuration in the parent conf:



location ^~ /download 
alias /Path2;
location /download/personal
auth_basic "Admin Login";
auth_basic_user_file Path_to_htpasswd;




Is it correct? Or are there better solutions?

          You already know how to do this. You need to add an alias that points to the correct directory.

          • Yes. That is a solution. But then for every subfolder I created I have to make the changes. Is there any solution to configure http://mysite/personal/* all point to /Path2?
