Hi, all

I have some problem with my nginx
I just could not restrict files in certain floder, as follows, i put the settings to nginx.conf

    location ~ ^/restrict/
    {
      auth_basic             "STATISTIC";
      auth_basic_user_file   /usr/local/nginx/conf/pwfornginx
    }


the folder /restrict/ is restricted perfect, however, files in the folder can still be accessed,
/restrict/somefile.php

What's the matter? any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

gavin
