Update on my htaccess problem. Recently I set up a spider trap which required placing an htaccess file on the www/html directory. The htaccess file listed in my first email is a sub directory of html/.
The tutorial had me create this htaccess file. Is the <Files *> . . . </Files> section over ruling the htaccess file in the sub directory? # Block bad-bots using lines written by bad_bot.pl script above SetEnvIf Request_URI "^(/403.*\.htm|/robots\.txt|/file_instead_of_what_they_want\.htm)$" allowsome <Files *> order allow,deny allow from all deny from env=getout </Files> -----Original Message----- From: Marc Fromm Sent: Sunday, October 25, 2009 7:48 PM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: [us...@httpd] httaccess stopped working I have used this htaccess file for quite some time now and it worked, only allowing access to specific ip addressess. For some reason the htaccess is not blocking ip addresses outside the ones specified. I have 'x'ed out the ip addresses and changed the user user name for this email. AuthType Basic AuthName "Outside Access." AuthUserfile /etc/htpasswd require user user_name #require valid-user Satisfy All <Limit GET POST> order deny,allow deny from all allow from xxx.xxx.216 allow from xxx.xxx.42 allow from xxx.xxx.43 allow from xxx.xxx.188 allow from xxx.xxx.189 </Limit> Any ideas on what could have changed to so the deny from all is no longer working? Users are still asked for a username and password. Some posts state to avoid using LIMIT. If that is correct then what is the better method?
