How to block user from single page

[guillermo5000]

I use Limit and Mod_Rewrite to limit access in my .htaccess file, but I would like to prevent a user from accessing a single page. How can this be accomplished? Thanks.

guillermo5000,

That depends on how you determine the speicific user. Having decided that, create a RewriteCond to detect the user, and use the page name in the RewriteRule.

This is what I tried, but it doesn't seem to work...

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^209\.26\.224\.45$
RewriteRule /industry.htm [f]

Do you see a problem? Thanks!

I'm guessing the second line should be:

RewriteRule industry.htm - [F]

[jdMorgan]

Yes, there's a problem: You have no substitution (target URL or filepath) in the RewriteRule. You need either a valid substitution, or the special case "-" for use with [F] and [G] flags.

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^209\.26\.224\.45$
RewriteRule /industry\.ht[b]m - [F][/b]

Also, all literal periods in regular-expressions patterns need to be escaped, as in "industry\.html". If this code is for use in .htaccess, you also may need to remove the leading slash from "/industry\.html" as well. It should work fine if you are using this code in httpd.conf.

Ah! That works great! Thank you!

I know you have told me this before, but where can I read more about Mod_Rewrite?

Thanks again!
