Hey guys, first of all i dont know exactly where i can send this message (users list or dev list) because im suspecting that i need to force a hook order in register hooks, but by now i can`t be sure which module is doing this "feature" , the users list will be my first guess shot. I have a Server running Varnish + Apache 2.2.17 and we created a package for remoteip to use in the 2.2.x series, this archicture is doing well but we notice that if we have a .htaccess file in some directory and we access that location via browser using this content on htaccess Order deny, allow deny from all allow from x.x.x.x I did this just to receive a status 403 (expected behaviour), but i noticed that in access.log the ip of the request is the same as the server , looks like the remoteip hasnt executed at all, if i change the order to: Order allow,deny allow from all deny from x.x.x.x When i access the same location i opened the site sucessfully (the normal behaviour because of the htaccess) but the ip i see on the access.log is the ip of my client browser (the expected one) i suspected that i needed to change the hook order of mod_remoteip forcing mod_authz_host.c to run just after it, and didnt worked, i tried to force the execution of mod_remoteip including it on the pre run order of register_hooks of mod_authz_host.c but without success as well. I`m sending this email to know if anyone has more information about which module really has the control of the .htaccess file and if i can do anything to solve this issue Regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
