Apache Security

Hi,

anyone knows how to configure http access to only a certain ip range? like an access list on apache.

like when an ip range of 123.x.x.x , I will allow them to access http://myserver.com

else, deny.

Thanks in advance.

Create a .htaccess file with the following content in the folder which you want to restrict IP addresses:

order deny,allow
allow from 123.456.789.
allow from .yourdomain
allow from .yourisp.com
deny from all

The first line allow any ip in 123.456.789.x range. The second and third allow you to allow domains based on PTR records. Hope this is what you want. If you want to allow just an IP or two, simply add in allow from above deny from all line with its full ip address.

Kindest regards,
