I am new to nginx and I really enjoy how fast it is in combination with php-fpm.

I want to protect a folder with

    location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.php /;
            auth_basic "restricted";
            auth_basic_user_file /www/config/global.passwd;
    }

this works by accessing /, but on hitting /test.php it does not ask for a password. It does ask for one at /test/ so this only works for folders.

How to include files for protection?

    At a guess, you have a location block for handling PHP files and /test.php is matching that block and not the one you have posted above. Try /test.htm and see if you get the same result to verify.

With the help of this:

How to use FastCGI globally and Basic Auth in sublocations in nginx?

http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#location

I solved the problem by putting location containers into other location containers.

Thx cyberx86 for the initial hint.
