[RESOLVED] Want to Block IP

sisira

hi,

I am doing a web site which has being done using php.
Due to security reasons i want to block some IP addresses visiting my site.
That i am trying to do by editing the .htaccess file. (I used my IP for testing)

this was the coding in the .htaccess file

order deny,allow

<Files ~ ".(php|php.*|sphp|php3|php4|php5|phtml|cgi|pl|shtml|dhtml|html|htm)$">
deny from all
</files>

<files index.php>
allow from all
</files>

<files audl.php>
allow from all
</files>

<files bar.php>
allow from all
</files>

<files upload.php>
allow from all
</files>

<files ~ "^.">
deny from all
</files>

order allow,deny
deny from 123.456.78.90
deny from 123.456.78
allow from all
the colord area was what i changed

but then the coding wont alow anybody to visit the site

can any one help me

thanks

You need to use 1 deny line:

Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Deny from 12.34.56.78 12.34.56.79 12.35.67.98

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the order you specify allow and deny in the "Order" line needs to be mimicked in the subsequent lines. For example:

Order [color=green]allow[/color], [color=red]deny[/color]
[color=green]Allow[/color] from all
[color=red]Deny[/color] from 123.234.245.250

Order [color=red]deny[/color], [color=green]allow[/color]
[color=red]Deny[/color] from all
[color=green]Allow[/color] from 192.168.1.1

Order allow, deny will generate an Apache error

Use Order allow,deny

Thanks Pals,
But it didnt work right. So i Tried in always i could and found the answer.

order deny,allow
allow all

the above script cannot be placed in two places in the same page so i removed those 2 lines and finally just kept,
deny from 124.252.26.3

so now it works perfectly

thanks for the effort pals
