Hi,

Im new to this but I used shell to run this command:

cd /etc/nginx
htpasswd -b htpass user temp

Then in my config I have this:

auth_basic "Restricted";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/htpasswd;

When I go to my site I see the login box but using the "user / temp" credentials dont work. Can someone explain what I am doing wrong please?

When running the htpasswd command you are calling the file "htpass", while in your Nginx configuration you're calling it "htpasswd". Is your Nginx configuration pointing to the right file?
