[Resolved] htaccess - allow access from a certain IP address

[waltz]

I am trying to allow access from a certain IP address using the following lines in htaccess but it is not working. I have "limit" checked under Allow Override options for htaccess.

<Files *>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from MY IP
</Files>

 

[NiteWave]

are both server level and vhost level "limit" of "Allow Override" checked?

 

[waltz]

Server is checked. I do not see any vhost. I am using litespeed with directadmin.

 

[NiteWave]

if it's directAdmin or cPanel, then apache httpd.conf is read and parsed.

please check httpd.conf, vhost, <directory ...> if
AllowOverride All or
AllowOverride Limit
is there.

can refer apache document
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#allowoverride

ok.........

 

[waltz]

AllowOverride is set to All in httpd.conf. What else could be the problem?

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

<Directory /home/*>
    AllowOverride All
    Options -MultiViews -Indexes FollowSymlinks IncludesNoExec +Includes
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>

<Directory />
    Options All
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
   <IfModule mod_suphp.c>
        suPHP_Engine On
        suPHP_UserGroup webapps webapps
	SetEnv PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR
   </IfModule>
</Directory>

get rid of <Files *> </Files>
It is not necessary. see if it works.
