Why is order allow deny from all in my .htaccess file?
Category: Server Usage
I am finding this in some htaccess files that are on the server. Is this a standard setup in your htaccess files? I was not using the and on the previous host's server. Do I need it on yours? I only use the Order Deny/Allow directive when banning IP addresses.
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all

Hi jeannies, When you are blocking IP addresses from your website, it is common to see: Order Deny,Allow Deny from all I actually had the opportunity not too long ago to learn more about "order allow,deny" vs. "order deny,allow", and the information I found may help answer your question. You can find more information about the allow / deny commands in your .htaccess file here: My .htaccess file is not blocking IP addresses correctly I hope that helps! Feel free to post any comments at the bottom of this page if I can help any further. Thanks! - Brad |
