Securing Your Linux Web Server Folder Access By IP

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Locate directory section (for example/var/www/sub/payroll) and set it as follows:

Code:


<Directory /var/www/html/payroll/>
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 192.168.0.5
    Allow from 127.0.1.1
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>


Another Example

Code:

<Directory /var/www/html/phpmyadmin/>
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 192.168.1.10
    Allow from 127.0.1.1
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

Now Restart Apache Server

Code:

sudo service apache2 restart
