<p style="margin:0px 0px 8px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetic;font-size:17px;line-height:23px">I went through the early steps in the tutorial where it prompts you to create a password. That was fine. I then added the two auth_basic and auth_basic_user_file lines to the second location block in my nginx.conf (see below) and pushed it to my server (which necessarily restarts the server), but the http authentication isn't happening. I can access my demo rails app without problem.</p>
