Hi, I'm using DA with nginx and w/o apache (php-fpm). So we need to manually generate nginx config on submission (to avoid using htaccess). We've found the solution in using all_pre.sh custom script, but is there any other way to realize such thing? Separate script for this action will be very useful.
Custom script for protecting directories

- Start date
But the problem not in nginx, but in the custom action handling.
I mean password protection of web folders. DA creates .htaccess in selected folder, but I need to write special data to nginx config, before or after .htaccess creation.

You should just do it manually instead of using directadmin to password protect folders.

Doing it manually will probably be a hurdle for most users.
It appears @rembo already knows what @chatwizrd writes, but is looking for a way to make it user-friendly.
I believe that the solution in the thread-starter post is probably the best way to do it; perhaps somone will write a plugin to make it easy enough for end-users to do without hosting company intervention.

While directadmin does not support NGINX, you should write a script or a plugin to achieve the desired. I could help you with the subject, if you want. But my time will cost you some money.
Yes, you're right. It's really lack of custom scripts for hooking actions that modify apache configs.
First we want to use all_pre.sh/all_post.sh for this action, but:
all_post.sh doesn't hooks this action, all_pre.sh runs before the action is done so we don't have the new protected directory path in protected.list and .htpasswd generated.
As a variant, to do this action as a cron job, but this isn't convinient.

Hello,
pre/post scripts are quite easy to add.
To confirm, you're looking for pre/post scripts for additions to an .htaccess after adding/removing password protection on a directory?
Once confirmed, I can add them in.

Maybe you can also have a look at this, John:

Hello. Not only .htaccess, it will be good for all actions that modify apache configs and .htaccess files.
Thanks.
But in the current situation, yes, really needed custom scripts after adding/editing/removing password protection on a directory and all ssl-related actions. I will use custom scripts for generating parts of nginx config that would be included in main user config.
