phpcode Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I want to stop people from viewing txt files using htaccess but I'm getting an internal server error. This is what I put in htaccess: <Files .txt> order allow,deny deny from all </Files> Error log: C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/.htaccess: order not allowed here Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/85778-solved-protecting-txt-files/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Try the following to actually block the files. As always, note when not to use .htaccess files http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/htaccess.html#when httpd.conf <Filesmatch \.txt$> order allow,deny deny from all </Filesmatch> .htaccess <Filesmatch \.txt$> deny from all </Filesmatch> The directive "order" is, I believe, out of context within "Files" or "FilesMatch" when used in .htaccess It's context is Directory or .htaccess (file root) http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_access.html#order Useful ref: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/sections.html Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/85778-solved-protecting-txt-files/#findComment-437945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
