Basically I would like everyone be allowed to access the site coming from a certain IP-address or alternatively everyone who can get passed the authentication. So far so good. The following configuration works:

Code:

        <Directory /var/www/html/mydirectory/>
                Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                Satisfy any
                Order deny,allow
                Deny from all
                Allow from 178.65.204.105

                AuthType Basic
                AuthName "Access to MyDirectory"
                AuthUserFile /var/directory/.htpasswd
                Require valid-user
        </Directory>


The issue is that it spams the error log with e.g. "AH01797: client denied by server configuration: /var/www/html/mydirectory/index.php" for everyone who is coming via the authentication. Is there a way to avoid this or even a better way to configure for the desired result.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Do you have mod_access_compat enabled? Otherwise Order Deny Allow will no longer work. And the AH01797 seems to be more a Apache 2.4 error message.

Code:

<Directory /var/www/html/mydirectory/>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Access to MyDirectory"
    AuthUserFile "/var/directory/.htpasswd"
    <RequireAny>
        Require valid-user
        Require ip 178.65.204.105
    </RequireAny>
</Directory>


See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authz_core.html#requireany
and http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod_authz_core.html#logic

Indeed mod_access_compat is enabled. Probably the default behaviour for Apache 2.4 on Debian 8 to provide a backwards compatible shim for deprecated configurations and allow for migrating to the new syntax.

Thanks a ton for providing an example on how to do it in Apache 2.4! This is much easier to grasp and it works. I will have a look soon to see if the error messages will go away now.

Thanks also for pointing me to the docu I was apparently unaware of. There is a small mistake in the second link you provided. I should be https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authz_core.html#logic

You rock. Thanks!
