How To Set Up HTTP Authentication With Nginx

printf "USER:$(openssl passwd -crypt PASSWORD)\n" >> .htpasswd
Replace USER and PASSWORD for your user and password 

Your nginx configuration file for the website should be under /etc/nginx/sites-available/. Add the two entries below under for the domain path that you want to secure.
    auth_basic "Restricted";
    auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;


The second line is the location of the htpasswd file for your website.

If you familiar with paranoia, and not disabled SELinux

Set SELinux permissions !!!!

I experienced the same problem and it was due to SELinux.

To check if SELinux is running:
# getenforce


To disable SELinux until next reboot:
# setenforce Permissive


Restart Nginx and see if the problem persists. If you would like to permanently alter the settings you can edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux
http://blog.saitov.me/2015/02/disabling-selinux.html

If SELinux is your problem you can run the following to allow nginx to serve your www directory (make sure you turn SELinux back on before testing this. i.e, # setenforce Enforcing)
# chcon -Rt httpd_sys_content_t /path/to/www


If you're still having issues take a look at the boolean flags in getsebool -a, in particular you may need to turn on httpd_can_network_connect for network access
# setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on



For me it was enough to allow http to serve my www directory.



Set writable directories :  



chown nginx -R /var/www..../web/runtime

chown nginx -R /var/www/..../www/assets
