Apache Restrict access to specific source IP inside virtual host

Question

I have several named virtual hosts on the same apache server  for one of the virtual host I need to ensure only a specific set of IP addresses are allowed to access    Please suggest the best way to do this  I have looked at mod authz hosts module but it does not look like I can do it inside virtual host

If you are using apache 2 2 inside your virtual host you should add following directive  mod authz host    Order deny allow Deny from all Allow from 10 0 0 1   You can even specify a subnet  Allow from 10 0 0   Apache 2 4 looks like a little different as configuration   Maybe better you specify which version of apache are you using

For Apache 2 4  you would use the Require IP directive  So to only allow machines from the 192 168 0 0 24 network  range 192 168 0 0 - 192 168 0 255   lt VirtualHost   80 gt       lt Location   gt        Require ip 192 168 0 0 24      lt  Location gt           lt  VirtualHost gt   And if you just want the localhost machine to have access  then there s a special Require local directive   The local provider allows access to the server if any of the following conditions is true   the client address matches 127 0 0 0 8 the client address is   1 both the client and the server address of the connection are the same  This allows a convenient way to match connections that originate from the local host    lt VirtualHost   80 gt       lt Location   gt        Require local      lt  Location gt           lt  VirtualHost gt

In Apache 2 4  the authorization configuration syntax has changed  and the Order  Deny or Allow directives should no longer be used   The new way to do this would be    lt VirtualHost   8080 gt       lt Location   gt          Require ip 192 168 1 0      lt  Location gt           lt  VirtualHost gt    Further examples using the new syntax can be found in the Apache documentation  Upgrading to 2 4 from 2 2

The mod authz host directives need to be inside a  lt Location gt  or  lt Directory gt  block but I ve used the former within  lt VirtualHost gt  like so for Apache 2 2    lt VirtualHost   8080 gt       lt Location   gt      Order deny allow     Deny from all     Allow from 127 0 0 1      lt  Location gt            lt  VirtualHost gt    Reference  https   askubuntu com questions 262981 how-to-install-mod-authz-host-in-apache
