I reviewed your updated docs & noted the new section on controlling access by IP address. I tried adding the “satisfy any;” line above my IP allow/deny blocks (see other post here,) but with no effect.
I emphasize that when I access sitemaps NOT selected by the special location ~ { } regexp, I have no problems with access at all. Nginx & OH, & my OH tablet clients work fine together.
There is only a problem when trying to access a specific sitemap that I wish to block access to for certain IP addresses on the LAN, while allowing other IPs access. As mentioned in my other post, I know my regexp & allow/deny rules are working fine, because I do get proper “access forbidden by rule…” messages in the error log, for the denied IP addresses.
The trouble is when a permitted IP address tries to access the location ~ regexp { } item, it spits back back the “no such file or directory” message.
With appreciation for your time.
