In the past i've typically written a htaccess file like this: deny from all allow from 127.0.0.1 allow from localhost seams to do the job but im wondering if it could be done better. The ip address wont be changed often, and when they do, i would most likley be the person to do so, so i could do this on the conf file. Problem is, i dont know how to do so, could any one help ? Im also wondering if its possible to point people off if they are not on the allow list, maybe off to another file which i could say no access etc can any one shed some light on this ?
The conf file is the best place for all access controls now anyway...
Usually, teh best way to be in the global config section use
<Directory />
AllowOverride None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
Then you allow access to whatever dirs:
<Directory "/var/www/private">
AllowOverride None
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from 127.0.0.1 some.host some.other.host (and so on)
</Directory>
*however* Why not use user/pass access to the directory? Must cleaner and
you can have 10's of thousands of users....
