A simple .htaccess question...
 

My file currently reads:

AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName RESTRICTED
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

What I want to do, is too add the line that will
allow all traffic from a specifed IP...

Thing is though, I must be getting old,
Cause I cant for the life of me
remember the cortrect syntax...

TIA

Hi.

Allow from 10.1.2.3

Try

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.
</Limit>

OK so 'allow from 'p.ip.ip.ip'

But at what point in the file ?
In other words before or after which line?

TIA

At the start. put this if you just want to control the www. directory:

<Directory /www>
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from 'p.ip.ip.ip'
</Directory>

OK Thanks...
Just one final Q.
The addition of

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.
</Limit>

Will not affect a registered subscribers ability to enter ?

TIA

Hi Who,
Its the members area, as in a standard ccBill setup...

deny from all, will deny access to all.
What you want to do is allow ip in the folder you want to keep protected.

You can also try

Satisfy Any
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Members Area"
AuthUserFile /pathonyourservertothe.htpasswdfile
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from ipnumber
</Limit>

I had this working both useraccess and ip access worked.
