Hi there,

I don't know dokuwiki, so this is all untested, but...

...why "of course"?

The original example wanted to block access to /data/ and
/something/data/; you now want to block access to /dokuwiki/data/
and /dokuwiki/something/data/.

This location block will match all of those (depending on what else is
in your config file).

That looks to me like it should also work...

...so there is something else going on.

What one url did you access to test this?

What response did you see?

What response did you expect to see?

If you provide your config file, or at least the full list of top-level
location definitions, someone may be able to point out why the second
and third answers differ.

http://nginx.org/r/location

Does the example config in
http://bugs.dokuwiki.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=2388 provide any
useful hints?

Good luck with it,
