[users@httpd] restricting a subdirectory in virtual host
I would like to make a document root folder of a virtual host open to
public, but restrict access to root/admin folder to certain IP ranges
only. Below is what I have currently. I have restricted the
survey/admin folder, but everyone can still view pages. Any suggestions
on what I am doing wrong? Thank you,
DocumentRoot /var/www/survey
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/survey>
Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/survey/admin>
Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost
</Directory>

Thanks Joshua for looking at the directives. I must have not saved the
file or not re-started Apache. It is working as expected now.

The configuration is basically correct, so the problem is likely
either you aren't editing the correct config file, you are reloading
the configuration after editing, of you have an Allow directive
someplace else in the config (perhaps in a <Location> section)
overriding this config. (AllowOverride restricts only .htaccess files,
not other sections of httpd.conf and related.
Joshua.
