.htaccess and MySQL IP Access control list

garbage29 · 01-08-2008, 05:16 PM

Hi linuxquestions..........

I already have a system where .htaccess looks at a MySQL database to try and authenticate users.

I want to add to the system, so that .htaccess also looks at the MySQL database and only allows IP addresses which are stored in that database.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Use 'Allow from' within your current <Limit> directive in the .htaccess, something like:

Code:

<Limit>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from trusted-ip-here
allow from another-trusted-ip
allow from some-trusted-host
</Limit>
