Thank you for that clear information, Tony. It worked for me first time and then I managed to extend it to nginx to password protect my Jitsi server (with a little help from your blog). I am very grateful to you :-)
thank you, I was struggling for hours trying to get it, I had my own config file for that site and according to sites enabled it was indeed the one active but for some reason i couldn't get it to work, simply following your example I copy and pasted my directory into the default config and it worked right away, strange but it working ty
Hello guyss... Have a nice day 😎 So, I need help about this ., I have a question ., I've tried this method to protect the folder and it's good, but after entering the password the first time and when the page is reloaded it won't ask for the password again (most likely the password is stored in the browser cache). what I want to know is how do I make it so that when the page is reloaded or when I open a new tab with the same URL (more than 1 tab) a popup will still appear, enter username & password ???
Good video, you could have mentioned .htaccess folder password protection, too, for people who are not comfortable editing the host file, or have a control panel that doesn't support basic auth out of the box..
How is the your var/www/html file structured though? I did this with a basic index.html file just saying "This is a test page". I would like to have a sign in prior to users hitting that page, but everytime I try, it doesn't ask for anything.....idk what I am doing wrong.
If you have /var/www/html/index.html and follow the instructions in this video, you should be prompted for credentials before a user is able to access the page
