how to restric admin pages to one ip only

more security.

Use an '.htaccess' file in your admin directory. In it, place the following:

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from your.ip.goes.here

[jnet]

thanks I know that but I want to give a false message to any body else attemp to login

 

like

 

Error on line 55 bla bla:lol:

You might have said so in the first place.

Change IP to yours, admin folder and links to whatever on your own site.

RewriteEngine On

 

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !123.123.123.123

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/admin_folder/

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domainname.com/fake_page.html [L]

 

Untested, so test it.

[jnet]

thanks that is what I mean so i remove your first suggestion

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from your.ip.goes.here

 

and replace it with this one?

 

I did but does not work

[bear]

Did you change the things I said needed changing so that it's your information?

Is it exactly the same as I gave, with your changes included)?

[jnet]

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !myip.typed.here
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/admin/
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yahoo.com/[L] 

 

I put exactly the above in a clean .htaccess file

uploaded it into my whmcs root (((it did not work)))

then I put it in whmcs/admin ((it dod not work)))

 

clean htaccess nothing else in it

So,you're saying you placed your IP in the second line, and nothing happened?

..."!" means "not"...
