Redirect on deny | htaccess

Question

How can I get the user to be redirected if their IP was matched on the deny of an IP address, e.g.

<Limit GET POST PUT>
  order allow,deny
  allow from all
  deny from {removed IP address}
</Limit>

I need them to be redirected to a specific website when they are denied from accessing.

Needing help with this..

Answer 1

Setup a script to handle 403 errors by adding this line to your .htaccess:

ErrorDocument 403 /forbidden.php

Then handle the redirect in the script:

<?php
header('Location: http://google.com');

Or to keep it all in .htaccess you could do:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} 127.0.0.1
RewriteRule (.*) http://google.com [R]

Answer 2

Simple solution using only htaccess

ErrorDocument 403 https:///google.com
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from 127.0.0.0/8
Allow from x.x.x.x
Allow from y.y.y.y
