Re: Conditional Blocks based upon Remote IP Address

Clint Priest <cpriest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> · Tue, 21 Oct 2008 08:45:09 -0500

Well more specifically with php its a security risk to enable 

display_errors and display_startup_errors and so I'm looking for a way 

to enable those features (before php executes and thus within apache) 

for only certain remote ip addresses (the developer boxes).

Do you know of a perl add-on that could do that?  I'm not a perl 

programmer but if I found some good examples I could probably modify 

something to get it to work properly.

Apart from the answers you already got, you should have a look at 

SetEnvIf. This will set an Apache variable, depending on conditions 

among which there might be the remote IP.

That variable then allows you to condition other things.

Of course, it all depends on what you mean by "enable a few things". 

Depending on what exactly you want to do, the answer may be simple or 

complex.

Also depending on which tools are available to you.

I am a mod_perl practitioner, and almost anything you could dream of, 

would be possible using or creating the appropriate mod_perl add-on to 

Apache.

To give you an idea, have a look here :
