Apache Directive

sopiaz57 · 12-09-2003, 12:51 PM

Hey All, I am trying to block access to a certain directory on my website to only allow my IP address. I know this can be done using the Directory directive but it's not working.

<Directory /myadmin>
Order deny,allow
Allow from 11.129.10.17
Deny from all
</Directory>

restarted apache.

thanks

Your problem is probably in your path, ie /myadmin. Try using the complete path.

Thanks for the reply, actually I am being forced to use this under windows environment and figured out the problem. With old style dos names specifying your path must be 8 character max filenames/directories.
