redirect everyone buy me to / or /index.html

[CrazyBigGaz]

Hi,

I would like to do the following with my .htaccess while I develop my site.

I would like to send everyone to [mydomain.com...] or [mydomain.com...]

But allow my IP full access to the site

How would I go about doing this redirection

Note that is a typo in the title should be: but

Regards,
Garry

Got to do what I want

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^127\.0\.0\.1
RewriteRule .php http://www.domain.com [R=302,L]

This will allow me to setup my site which is using .php files.

[g1smd]

RewriteBase /

is the default and does not need to be specified.

Without end anchoring, the

^127\.0\.0\.1

pattern also matches 127.0.0.111 and 127.0.0.199 etc.

The

.php

pattern means

<any character>php

. If you mean

<literal period>php

then change

.

to

\.

here.

Additionally, your rule target should end with a trailing slash.

Finally, you should never redirect to a named index file.
