I want to restrict an entire site in such a way that just two IPs could enter the site. I have the following in my .htaccess (at the root of site):
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.example.com/views/error403.html
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 311.311.311 322.322.322.322
ErrorDocument 404 /views/error404.html
ErrorDocument 500 views/error500.html
(Obviously, these are fake IPs, in my .htaccess they are the right IPs)
As you can see, I allow just 322.322.322.322 and all IPs from 311.311.311.0/24, and deny for the rest of people. What I want is that when anybody enter the site from another IP, he'll view the error403.html page.
The filter is working fine, but not the redirection. When I try to enter the site from a deny IP, I see an Apache message:
Found
The document has moved here
Where "here" is a link to error403.html.
I think I'm restricting even the error403.html page.
How can I do this restriction, but allowing the view of the error page? Should I move error403.html page to another directory (i.e., /views/error/ ) and put other .htaccess in it, allowing in that file all the IPs?
Thank you in advance!
Yes, you have answered your own question. :) Move all non-protected pages into another directory with its own .htaccess
containing the proper Allow
and Deny
.
