Hello,
I’ve setup a small droplet with php7.0-fpm/fastcgi, apache 2.4 on a Ubuntu 14.04. Everything runs smoothly, except one small detail :
The thing is I want to protect a folder via a classic .htaccess protection, nothing fancy.
But, if I go to “my-droplet-ip/my-protected-folder/my-file.php”, I still can access it, even with an htaccess configured.
If I go to “my-droplet-ip/my-protected-folder”, the login/pass prompt shows up like expected. Same normal behavior for “my-droplet-ip/my-protected-folder/a-file.(html/png/ini…)”
I’ve read many things, like the fact that fastcgi could “process” php files before htaccess, but I can’t really figure why/how.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Jehan

Eureka.
Short story, don’t use :
to handle php files with FastCGI, because it seems that
ProxyPassMatch
directives are evaluated before the.htaccess
.Better use :
More details over there.
