Password protecting root doesn't work

Hi

---

I am using this to password protect a folder:

Code:

python /usr/local/nginx/conf/htpasswd.py -c -b /usr/local/nginx/conf/htpasswd4 usernamehere passwordhere

And this on the domain config file:

Code:

location ^~/administrator/ {
auth_basic "Private";
auth_basic_user_file /usr/local/nginx/conf/htpasswd4;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf;
}

And that's fine but i can't protect root public folder so a popup should come and ask for user and pass to view the site

 

Ok i fix it using:

Code:

location ~ ^/ {
