Allow http access to hidden folders
Hello,
I've been struggling a couple of days with a Magento installation in a server using ISPConfig 3.1.2 on Ubuntu Xenial where the thumbnails would not show up.
It seems the culprit is the following directive (used for let's encrypt i guess?)
location ~ /\.(?!well-known/acme-challenge/) {
deny all;
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
}
It seems it's blocking access to all folders preceded by a dot. In my case it is blocking all folders named .tmb
in media/
folder which got created by an extension effectively killing all file previews.I'm guessing most apps tend to use such folders so it's not good if a rule is blocking them accidentally.
Removing the above rule in the vhost seems to make them accessible again.
In my search I came accross this page https://www.ioweb.gr/en/blog-en/item/90-magento-nginx-%E2%80%93-thumbs-not-working-in-media-manager
which led me to the culprit however the workaround works for one specific folder. In my case all subfolders get a .tmb
directory and I can't really work around it and there might also be more folders that much the same rule.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Kind regards, Gabriel
