I am running a DigitalOcean droplet with Ubuntu 14.04 x64.
In my /var/www/html
directory, I have a include/
folder of files I include in PHP files but aren't standalone. I would like to prohibit direct URL access (return 403 errors) to these files, but still make it so that my standalone files can include them.
I have tried creating a .htaccess file inside the include/
folder containing:
<Files *>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From {my droplet IP address}
</Files>
This is not prohibiting access. Is this the right approach? Is my .htaccess
file wrong? Is the IP address I am allowing from wrong?
Thanks.
