Get Simple on NGINX Security

[yojoe]

Nginx has its own rewrite rules.
You can try to block the directory, by adding to nginx.conf file

Code:

location /data/users/ {
  deny all;
}

There are also methods to do a link rewrites, instead of apache's rewrite nginx uses try_files directive.

I can't guarantee this will work. I've never touched nginx.
Somebody posted long time ago some rewrite rules for nginx.
Maybe they will be still working.
