[users@httpd] DocumentRoot cannot be domain protected?

[Liz Kim <li...@gmail.com>]

Is there a special way of domain/IP protecting the DocumentRoot directory?
All I am trying to do is:

order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from MY_IP_ADDRESS_HERE

When this is put under any other directory, it successfully denies me
access.
However, when it's is put under the DocumentRoot directory, it fails.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

With "put this under a directory" do you mean that you put it in a
".htaccess" file within the directory, or do you put it within a
<directory> block in your httpd.conf? Could you show us your
httpd.conf?
