nginx: Disallow Acces to a Folder, except some subfolders
- by user68202
how it is possible to deny access to a folder, but execept some subfolders in it from "deny"?
I tried something like this (in this order):
#this subfolder shouldnt be denied and php scripts inside should be executable
location ~ /data/public {
allow all;
}
#this folder contains many subfolders that should be denied from public access
location ~ /data {
deny all;
return 404;
}
... which doesnt work correctly. Files inside the /data/public folder are accessible (all other in /data are denied as it should be), but PHP files are not executed anymore in the /data/public folder (if i dont add these restrictions, the php files are executable).
What is wrong? How can it be correct? I think theres a better way to do it.
It would be very nice if anyone can help me with this :).
