Hi, I have a box with LM8.1. and apache extranet server 1.3.22 installed. The box belongs to a network and is viewable by the internet( like linuxbox1.mydomain.com). Since this will be used as a webserver, I needed some secure from the outworld things. So I used the deny directive as follows (in commonhttpd.conf):
Alias /new/ /webdocs/new/ <Directory /webdocs/new> AllowOverride None Options Indexes Multiviews Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 </Directory> Ok. Now I restarted the server with : #apachectl-perl restart and then through a secondary network (with same domain but different ip: windows1.mydomain.com), I pointed an IE to http://linuxbox1.mydomain.com/new/ The result was to view my valuable data. It seems strange, because the configuration for server-status (which is only viewable from 127.0.0.1) is working perfectly (that is when from the second pc I am pointing to http://linuxbox1.mydomain.com/server-status I get access denied). So what is wrong with the picture here? The same config works on windows platform, where I did setup an apache there to test it. I really need help on that because I won't be able to go on with my project and then I would have to abandon my favourite distribution to something downgraded... Thanks in advance, I wait for a sincere answer. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo! Shopping and Yahoo! Auctions for all of your unique holiday gifts!
