Issue with HttpAuthDigestModule

[redleaderuk]

Hello Nginx people!

I hope you can help me.  I'm having an infuriating problem with auth digest
via the HttpAuthDigestModule.

The first site I added to Nginx used the same htdigest password file as my
Apache webserver (on the same box) uses.  This works fine.  However, I added
a second website that uses an almost identical configuration but for some
reason I simply cannot authenticate for this second site.  I'm using the
same htdigest password file, same username and password.  The first website
I can authenticate, the second one refuses to authenticate me.  I can't
figure out why!

Here is the first website's conf file:
#########
# Project 1 configuration
upstream project1_backend {
    server unix:/var/www/project_1/tmp/php.sock;
}

server {
    listen 8083;
    server_name dev.project_1.site.com;
    root /var/www/project_1/web;

    access_log /var/www/project_1/logs/nginx_access.log;
    error_log /var/www/project_1/logs/nginx_error.log;

    # strip app.php/ prefix if it is present
    rewrite ^/app\.php/?(.*)$ /$1 permanent;

    auth_digest_user_file /etc/apache-digest-passwd;

    location / {
    auth_digest 'my-realm';
    index app.php;
        try_files $uri @rewriteapp;
    }

    location @rewriteapp {
        rewrite ^(.*)$ /app.php/$1 last;
    }

    # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on php socket
    location ~ ^/(app|app_dev|config)\.php(/|$) {
        fastcgi_pass project1_backend;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param HTTPS off;
    }
}
#########

The second configuration file looks like this:
#########
# Project 2 configuration file
upstream project2_backend {
    server unix:/var/www/project_2/tmp/php.sock;
}

server {
    listen 8083;

    server_name project_2.site.com;
    root /var/www/project_2/web;

    access_log /var/www/project_2/logs/nginx_access.log;
    error_log /var/www/project_2/logs/nginx_error.log error;

    # strip app.php/ prefix if it is present
    rewrite ^/app\.php/?(.*)$ /$1 permanent;

    auth_digest_user_file /etc/apache-digest-passwd;

    location / {
    auth_digest 'my-realm';
    index app.php;
        try_files $uri @rewriteapp;
    }

    location @rewriteapp {
        rewrite ^(.*)$ /app.php/$1 last;
    }

    # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on php socket
    # REMOVE config from choices on PRODUCTION!
    location ~ ^/(app|app_dev|config)\.php(/|$) {
        fastcgi_pass project2_backend;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param HTTPS off;
    }
}
#########

I've tried creating a new password file with htdigest and adding a
user/password to it, then referencing that new password file in the second
website's conf file but I still can't authenticate.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me please?

Thanks for any help you can offer,

Alex
