Rails 3.2 Nginx Unicorn Basic Authentification - nginx

Question

I am trying to get Basic Authentification to work with Rails 3.2 nginx and Unicorn
The configuration works for hosting my site. I used the Rails Basic Authentification in the Controller but i have to many problems while testing. The .htpasswd file is also working i could restrict the access to a static site.
In the location config i tried
location /
location /home/deployer/apps/rails/current/public
location /home/deployer/apps/rails/current/
Any ideas?
This is my config:
upstream unicorn {
server unix:/tmp/unicorn.blog.sock fail_timeout=0;
}
server {
listen 80 default deferred;
server_name railsserver;
root /home/deployer/apps/rails/current/public;
location / {
auth_basic "Restricted";
auth_basic_user_file /var/www/prototyp/.htpasswd;
}
location ^~ /assets/ {
gzip_static on;
expires max;
add_header Cache-Control public;
}
try_files $uri/index.html $uri #unicorn;
location #unicorn {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://unicorn;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
client_max_body_size 4G;
keepalive_timeout 10;
}
I tried it with this config now but it does not work
server {
listen 80 default deferred;
server_name rails.com;
root /home/deployer/apps/rails/current/public;
location ^~ /assets/ {
gzip_static on;
expires max;
add_header Cache-Control public;
}
try_files $uri/index.html $uri /;
location / {
auth_basic "Restricted";
auth_basic_user_file /var/www/prototyp/.htpasswd;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://unicorn;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
client_max_body_size 4G;
keepalive_timeout 10;
}

Answer 1

Do it like this to get it to work:
location / {
auth_basic "Restricted";
auth_basic_user_file /var/www/prototyp/.htpasswd;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://unicorn;
}
You don't need the #unicorn location
