401 Authorization Required nginx

This is a bug

EE should not have prevented use of word such as ping and status in URLs.

We will see how quickly we can fix that. For now, you can edit these words in the line:

location ~ ^/(status|ping) {

In files:

/etc/nginx/common/locations.conf
/etc/nginx/common/locations-php7.conf

Please reload nginx after changes using

nginx -t && service nginx reload
