Why is php not being disabled in a directory via .htaccess?

Question

PHP

There is a folder for files, it contains .htaccess with such content

php_flag engine Off
RemoveHandler .php .php2 .php3 .php4 .php5 .phtml .pl .rb .py .cgi .fcgi .fpl
AddType application/octet-stream .php .php2 .php3 .php4 .php5 .phtml .js .html .htm .xhtml .shtml .pl .rb .py .css .sass .less .coffee .cgi .fcgi .fpl
Options -Indexes

On the local (open-server, apache 2.4.6) everything is ok, but on the server (apache 2.2.26 + nginx 1.5.9 for statics) the scripts are executed. Tell me what could be the problem.
PS: AllowOverride All, since rewrite and other options work in .htaccess

Answer 1

Close at the nginx level
location /your_folder {
try_files $uri $uri/ 404;
}
Something like this. It will give all the files from this location without the participation of Apache at all. And accordingly, no scripts will be executed.
