Thank you.

Did you mean to have only one letter "c" in the new renamed file? Or is that just a typo here?

I don't know much about Linux servers, but that stood out to me on first glance.

Hey,
Thank you for the reply
What is not working is that I added the auth_user and the other auth password file in sites available default page and I run nginx -t and everything is working but the password and username don't show up once I visit admin.php it loads directly on xenforo login page.
any ideas? I tried everything

If you're using nginx instead of apache/litespeed then the .htaccess isn't of any use to you. It must all be done in your vhost conf file.

Hey,
You mean the default config file in sites-available? right

Can you also guide me on the things I need to add just to block the admin.php?
