nginx returning authentication in IE
- by James MacLeod
I am having a few issues with an nginx server. I have a site setup that keeps requesting authentication when accessed from IE but in firefox and safari the site is fine no request for authentication.
Reading around the web I can see that it could be the gzip that may be causing errors, but the other sites are working without issue.
Here is the config:
user sysadmin sysadmin;
worker_processes 8;
error_log logs/error.log debug;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
passenger_root /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.9;
passenger_ruby /usr/bin/ruby1.8;

gzip on;
gzip_min_length 1100;
gzip_buffers 4 8k;
gzip_types text/plain;
output_buffers 1 32k;
postpone_output 1460;

tcp_nodelay on;
keepalive_timeout 75 20;

break;
}
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
}
}
location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:49232; #this must point to the socket spawn_fcgi is running on.
fastcgi_index index.php;

}
As you can see there is no reference to a http authentication
