limit deny not working

[Sunshyn]

I just found out that the limit deny in my .htaccess file stopped working. I can't even block my own address and tested with denies on both the dns name and the ip address. I know this was working some months ago and can't figure out why it would have stopped sometime since then. My rewrites and everything else in there still seems to be working. Whatever the problem is, it doesn't seem to be in the .htaccess file. No, I do not have an uncommented allow from all in there.
We even tried restarting the server, to no avail.

So I'm wondering if there is any other place where that could somehow been turned off or if anyone has any other ideas what could cause this.

Omitting AllowOverride Limit in httpd.conf could disable this, as could attempting to put multiple Order statements in your .htaccess. With the sparse info posted here about your hosting setup, that's all I can think of.

Thanks jdMorgan!

I just tried removing Order statements and putting them back (there seemed to be 3). On the 2nd attempt it started working. :-)

I wouldn't have known what other information to give since I don't really deal with the server part. The friend who handles that wasn't sure where else to look for the problem.
