Re: Blocking an IP Address
Shouldn't it be "Order Deny,Allow"?! Seems to me that it's checking the Allow directive first, because that's the order you've set up. Since Allow says that everyone is allowed, it never checks the Deny. 

Changing the order to Deny,Allow should solve this.

I'm trying unsuccessfully to add a directive to the Apache server to block a range of IP addresses from 216.126.140.0 to 216.126.140.255. 

I've added the following code to the directory entry I'm trying to block:

  <Directory /qsys.lib/cgilib.lib/cgimain.pgm*/>
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow From all
  Deny From 216.126.140.0/255.255.255.0
  </Directory>
I've ended and restarted the server instance but the offending IP is still getting in. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
