Having trouble with blocking IP's using .htaccess
I am having trouble with blocking IP's via .htaccesson apache, I have a small shared account
when i am editing the .htaccess file via ssh and pico do I just add the following to deny certian IP addressses
deny from 209.23.123.110
deny from 209.23.123.9
or do I have to go like this;
<Limit GET>
order deny,allow
deny from 209.23.123.110
deny from 209.23.123.9
</Limit>
I have been editing the .htaccess filr in my public_html directory
do I have to add anything else to the file for this to work? or is it better to use a cgi-wrapper script ( I dont't have a script)
Or do I have to put it somewhrere else?
I have been checking everywhere on the net but most of it is pretaining to setting passwords and denying usernames
Great opportunity to show off you extensive knowledge!
