MOD_REWRITE : I want to block access to all my files except from certian ip's/domains...

Here is an example of a mod-rewrite rule:

rewriteEngine on
rewriteCond %{HTTP_user_agent} Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Toshiba Corporation)
rewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^55\.55\.*$
rewriterule!(403\.html¦404\.html) - [F,L]

This will block any one using Mozilla with the IP of 55.55.*

The Apache Doc at:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html

is very useful.  Also knowing Regular Expression will help.

I forgot to mention the final rule sends the users to a 404.html or 403.html document (missing, moved), so make sure you have one.

thats not what I wanted and my attempts have fails I want all blocked and sent to a certian page EXCEPT the ips/doamins i list within the rule....but thanks

Sure, you can allow certain IP, read this:

http://www.crucialparadigm.com/resources/tutorials/server-administration/guide-to-htaccess-htpassword-password-protect-directory-tutorial-tips.php

Read the "Deny/Allow Certian IP Addresses" section.

no I want to use mod_rewrite to direct them diffrect file/page.....not just deny them

O ok:

rewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^55\.55\.*$
RewriteRule  ^/$                 /homepage.1.html  [L]

rewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^55\.66\.*$
RewriteRule  ^/$                 /homepage.2.html  [L]

RewriteRule  ^/$                 /homepage.all.html  [L]

i.e. Sent all IP 55.55.* to /homepage.1.html, all IP 55.66.* to  /homepage.1.html, and all others to /homepage.all.html.

some errors, I mean:

i.e. Sent all IP 55.55.* to /homepage.1.html, all IP 55.66.* to  /homepage.2.html, and all others to /homepage.all.html.

For a list go:

rewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^55\.55\.*$
rewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^55\.56\.*$
rewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^55\.57\.*$
RewriteRule  ^/$                 /homepage.1.html  [L]

rewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^55\.66\.*$
rewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^55\.67\.*$
rewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^55\.68\.*$
RewriteRule  ^/$                 /homepage.2.html  [L]

RewriteRule  ^/$                 /homepage.all.html  [L]

i.e. Sent all IP 55.55.* to /homepage.1.html, sent all IP 55.56.* to /homepage.1.html, sent all IP 55.57.* to /homepage.1.html

and

sent all IP 55.66.* to /homepage.2.html, sent all IP 55.67.* to /homepage.2.html, sent all IP 55.68.* to /homepage.2.html

finally, all others to /homepage.all.html.

REad the mod_rewrite Apache Doc at:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html

You'll learn alot more fancy tricks.

no, you are doing some GREAT script writing but we must be misunderstanding...

I want to send all traffic to page.htm
and only the few ip I list are all access to the files/site...get it?

why not just use a .htaccess file and set your 403 page as this "page.htm"

BECAUSE i have site accessing files on this server that i want to allow to do so, but any and all other = where i send them,

including users

you can use htaccess to block IPs, or only allow a list of IPs/hosts

eg:

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from localhost
allow from 192.168.0.4


that would only allow the local machine and 192.168.0.4 to access the directory/subdirs/files

can i allow domains or will i need the ip for all?

sure


allow from .mydomain.com

allows all subdomains (eg pies.mydomain.com, candy.mydomain.com, etc)


allow from pie.mydomain.com

allows only from pie.mydomain.com

here's quite a good guide to mastering your htaccess

http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess.shtml

How bout this:

rewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^55\.55\.*$
RewriteRule  ^/(*)$                 /\1  [L]

rewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^*$
RewriteRule  ^(*)$                 /page.html  [L]

Will allow only 55.55.* to access any, while all other request wll be routed page.html.

ok so how can i do more than one ip ...
please I want to be able to allow domians
I even want to disallow the server the files are housed on

what if i wanted to put full ips in there?

its fine.

i.e. rewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^55\.54\.55\.55$
