Nginx 403即使设置了权限也被禁止

Question

I want to get Letsencrpyt SSL for my domain. Part of the process is, the site needs to be authorized before getting the certificate.

I created the folder ./well-known and ran the command I was asked to and I got;

Nginx 403 forbidden.

I'm on nginx/1.10.0 (Ubuntu)

I chown the directory and granted it 755 yet still the same. Check out the permissions in my directory below.

namei -l /var/www/example.com/.well-known                      

 f: /var/www/example.com/.well-known
 drwxr-xr-x root   root /
 drwxr-xr-x root   root var
 drwxr-xr-x root   root www
 drwxr-xr-x cman sudo example.com
 drwxr-xr-x cman sudo .well-known

I also created a working.html file in the /.well-known folder and I load example.com/.well-known/working.html , I got the same 403 Forbidden.

Nginx.conf

 upstream kip_app_server {
   # fail_timeout=0 means we always retry an upstream even if it failed

   # single worker for timing out).

  }

   location ~ /\.well-known {
       allow all;
       alias /var/www/example.com/.well-known/;
    }


    location / {
      include proxy_params;
       proxy_pass http://kip_app_server;
       #proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
      #proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
   }
 }

Your code would work if you were not using an alias.

Try this:

location ^~ /.well-known {
   allow all;
   alias /var/www/example.com/.well-known/;
}

or this:

location ^~ /.well-known {
    allow all;
    auth_basic off;
    alias /path/to/.well-known/;
}

When aliasing, the ^ is required.

This is Nginx specific behaviour, to the way they perform matching. There is a detailed write-up here on matching logic and caveats, it is confusing: https://github.com/letsencrypt/acme-spec/issues/221
