Secure AdminCP and Installation [Deleted]

[Adam Howard]

Adam Howard updated Secure AdminCP and Installation with a new update entry:

Nginx -- Finally!

So this guide now works with both Apache and nginx in mind.

Read the rest of this update entry...

Will you be updating this or making another guide for Nginx?​

• I personally, have never been able to get Nginx to password protect folders or files (don't ask me why). Nginx has however played around with the concept of adding .htacess support and I personally hope one day that they do.

Actually, instead of using the way you say to give full path, using

location /install

for the install directory and

location = /admin.php

for the admin.php is sufficient. Works fine on all of my XF and myBB installs using nginx 1.7 mainline.

@Tracy Perry Nice suggestion, but I'll keep the guide generic "as is"

@Adam Howard why did you remove this? Also when I tried to tag you it wouldn't autofill but for some reason it did it...odd...

They are permanently banned and have been for some time.

Can someone recreate this?

 

[SneakyDave]

What do you want recreated? The nginx support? I think google can provide those answers, and I think @Tracy Perry has a better solution for what this guide provided.

Basically everything I saw this some time ago, but I didn't have any spare time before now.

All it is, is using htaccess (for Apache) to secure using htpasswd. Replicating it is very easy. For nginx it's not that much more difficult - but I got away from it and am using Google 2 Factor Authentication add-on.

Are you using nginx or Apache for your HTTP server?

 

[DennisSkov]

Apache

This is really all that's required: https://xenforo.com/community/resou...and-the-install-directory-using-htaccess.353/
