Centminmod Wordpress Install Login Issues
Linode
Linode Staff
When using Centminmod to setup a WordPress instance, the installation seemed a success.
However, when attempting to log in to my Wordpress site using wp-login.php, I am greeted by an Nginx authentication page, which tells me that wp-login.php isn't given the chance to load.
This is not the regular Wordpress login, if I click cancel I'm greeted with an Nginx error.
401 Authorization Required
Nginx
How can I fix this?

Here's what I found to fix the issue
First remove the comment before htpasswd_wplogin in:
/usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/example.com.ssl.conf
Next we edit the file /usr/local/nginx/conf/htpasswd.sh
Run the script /usr/local/nginx/conf/htpasswd.sh to create /home/nginx/domains/example.com/htpasswd_wplogin YOURUSERNAME YOURPASSWORD
Lastly, run nprestart then nginx restart
Revisit http://example.com/wp-login.php and authenticate Wordpress.
