Description
The web page: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/security-controls/configuring-http-basic-authentication/
contains a few example configs for auth_basic
The examples use the wrong quote (ie. “” versus "" characters) - if you copy the examples into a config file nginx will not start - and complains of configuration errors.
The documentation says (in 2 places):
location /api {
auth_basic “Administrator’s Area”;
#...
}
Note the quote characters used.
It should read instead:
location /api {
auth_basic "Administrator’s Area";
#...
}

Fixed, thanks for report.
