Basicauth and fastcgi

Help
#1

I’m trying to use basicauth to authenticate before loading my php application.

Here are the relevant lines from the Caddyfile:

basicauth / user pass

fastcgi / localhost:9000 php
rewrite {
  if {path} ends_with /
  to {dir}/index.html {dir}/index.php /_h5ai/public/index.php
}

But when I request a page, it simply loads, same as if I removed the basicauth line. basicauth works as expected if I take out the fastcgi and rewrite directives.

How do I configure these two features to work together?

Cheers.

In other news, Caddy rocks!

I havent tested it myself but your config looks good.

However I once had a problem with special characters ($,!,/, etc). Try adding quotes to your basicauth directive like:

basicauth / "user" "pass"

That made it work for me.

#3

That’s strange, quotes should only be necessary when there is whitespace in the value.

Your Caddyfile works just fine for me. Maybe clear your cache or something?

#4

Ok, I’ll retest that in a minute it may have been a different problem.

#5

Just tested it. Without the quotes it does ask for authentication but wont let me in with the correct password.

Oh, I just noticed why. My password contains a #. I guess that is getting parsed as a comment. :wink:

Oops, yep, whitespace and comments.

I don’t know what stupid thing I was doing with my browser but I tried it again and it worked.

Thanks y’all!
