Deny visitors by IP address
0 commentsThe visitor blocking facilities offered by the Apache Web Server enable us to deny access to specific visitors, or allow access to specific visitors. This is extremely useful for blocking unwanted visitors, or to only allow the web site owner access to certain sections of the web site, such as an administration area. To set-up visitors restrictions and blocking, create a .htaccess file following the main instructions and guidance which includes the following text:
|
The above lines tell the Apache Web Server to block visitors from the IP address '255.0.0.0' and '123.45.6.', note the second IP address is missing the fourth set of digits, this means any IP address which matches the firth three set of digits will be blocked, e.g. '123.45.6.10' and '123.45.6.255' would be blocked.
To set-up blocking of all visitors except yourself, create a .htaccess file following the main instructions and guidance which includes the following text:
|
The above lines tell the Apache Web Server to block all visitors except those with the IP address '255.0.0.0', which you should replace with your own IP address.
You may add any number of 'deny from' and 'allow from' records after the 'order allow,deny'. Note the change from 'allow from all' to 'deny from all' on the bottom line, this is important and must be changed depending on your requirements. If you want to allow your visitor access, you would use 'allow from all' and place 'deny from' lines above.
Blocked visitors will be shown a '403 Forbidden' error message. You can customise this error message by following the 'Error Documents' section of this article.
Blocking offline browsers and 'bad bots'
0 comments
Offline browsers are pieces of software which download your web page, following the links to your other web pages, downloading all the content and images. The purpose of this is innocent, so the visitor can log off the Internet and browse the site without a connection, but the demand on the server and bandwidth usage can be expensive. Bad bots as they are often called refers to programs which visit your web site, either to source content, look for security holes or to scan for email addresses. This is often how your email address ends up on 'Spam' databases, because they have set a 'bot' to scan the Internet and collect email addresses. These programs and 'bots' often ignore the rules set out in 'robot.txt' files.Below is a useful example of how to block some common 'bots' and site rippers. Create a .htaccess file following the main instructions and guidance which includes the following text:

Adding MIME types
0 comments
MIME types set what a file is, or rather what file extensions refer to what file types. For example, a '.html' file extension refers to a HTML document, a '.zip' file extension refers to a ZIP archive file. The server needs to know this so it knows how to deal with the file. This is often used to create custom file extension for common file types.To setup a MIME type, create a .htaccess file following the main instructions and guidance which includes the following text:
'AddType' specifies that you are adding a MIME type. The second part is the MIME type, in this case text or HTML, and the final part is the file extension, in this example 'htm0'.
A common issue with MP3 or SWF files not playing can be resolved with the following text:
A handy trick, to force a file to be downloaded, via the 'Save As' feature in the web browser, set the MIME type to application/octet-stream and the browser will immediately prompt for download. Note, this does not work consistently in some versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Here is a list of various MIME types and some associations:
