Apache - Deny by IP help

[opethdisciple]

I've got three sites up and running.

Trying to block IP access to site.

I've add the following in to the httpd.conf file.

<Directory /srv/www/andrewspress.com>
AllowOverride none
Order allow,deny
Deny from 10.2.2.126
</Directory>


It works in the sense my other sites are accessible and the andrewspress.com domain isn't.

Only problem is that the 403 Forbidden page isn't being displayed rather the generic Apache page displays....


If I use the following it works but how do I specify my single andrewspress.com domain?

<Location />
<Limit GET POST PUT>
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from 10.2.2.126
</Limit>
</Location>

htaccess isn't my strong point at all, but couldn't you just drop the IP in IPTABLES?

Not using .htaccess. The official Apache Wiki says not to use it unless very special circumstances.

I'm trying to get this done via the httpd.conf file.

Sorted it in the end.

vhost.conf file was where had to add it.
