Apache RewriteRule ignoring RewriteCond?
- by winsmith
So I have an Apache running on OSX Server 10.4 (don't ask) with multiple sites. In 0002_[example.com].conf, I have this bit of code:
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/secret/">
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^137\.250\.
RewriteRule .* /messages/secret.html
</Directory>
However, in this configuration, the RewriteCond always seems to evaluate to false, since the secret directory gets shown even if the client's address does not begin with 137.250.
If I change the config to this
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/secret/">
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* /messages/secret.html
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^137\.250\.
</Directory>
the condition either does not get evaluated at all or always evaluates to true. Either way, all clients get blocked.
What am I doing wrong?
