block all ports but 80

[therealgtron]

is it possible to block all ports but 80 via .htaccess?

thanks!

mod_rewrite in .htaccess can block other ports, but only for HTTP requests.

Is your server configured to respond to HTTP requests on additional ports, other than http port 80 and https port 443?

What are you trying to accomplish? What problems are you having?

thanks for your quick reply!

on one of my vps's i want some accounts to be able to use mail and ftp so i have to leave those services running.

on other accounts i want only httpd and port 80 open.

Nothing in Apache HTTP Web server is going to affect your mail or FTP servers.

so is it impossible to block specific ports based on site name?

You might look into setting up hardware or software firewall rules.
