osmy · 12-17-2011, 07:44 AM

Hello, I want to create an htaccess file which allows specified ip(s) to show content on web-site, if ip is not listed than redirects it to another webpage url. I am trying to use this to building up my website. I will be able to create my website and view it while other users see under construction page. Here is what I am trying:

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 888.888.888.888

I got it but do not how to redirect un-listed ip's to an url or a subdomain.

Hope someone help me!
Thanks

I found and tested, it works. If someone needs something like this here it is:
Edit url and Copy paste it to your .htaccess file

# redirect all visitors to alternate site but retain full access for you
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.xxx.com # non authorized ip's redirected to this url
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from xx.xx.xx.xx # allowed ip adress

Cheers

Hey, I can't redirect a subdomain with using this htaccess configuration, any suggestions?

# redirect all visitors to alternate site but retain full access for you
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.xxx.com # non authorized ip's redirected to this url
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from xx.xx.xx.xx # allowed ip adress

Hi,

If the .htaccess is in the server's docroot and the subdomain's docroot is a subdirectory of it, then it should work.
BTW as an alternative, you can use mod_rewrite:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^xx.xx.xx.xx
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.xxx.com [R=302]

Hi bathory

I try yours I am getting this error:

This webpage has a redirect loop

I want to access web-site with my ip, and let all other visitors redirect to subdomain for example: comingsoon.xxx.com so when non-authorized ip visits xxx.com he will redirected to comingsoon.xxx.com

Hope this helps. Thanks

Any suggestions?
I always get:
This webpage has a redirect loop

error

You can add another condition to check the host requested:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^xxx.com$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^xx.xx.xx.xx
RewriteRule (.*) http://comingsoon.xxx.com [R=302]

Voila, it works! Thanks bathory!!!

One last question,
when I entered xxx.com it redirects http://comingsoon.xxx.com without any problem
but
when I entered www.xxx.com it does not redirects http://comingsoon.xxx.com

www formatted url won't work, is there a solution to use www. too

Yup

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^xxx.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.xxx.com$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^xx.xx.xx.xx
RewriteRule (.*) http://comingsoon.xxx.com [R=302]

Hey I found IT, no need to answer!

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^xxx.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.xxx.com$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^xx.xx.xx.xx
RewriteRule (.*) http://comingsoon.xxx.com [R=302]
