I try to give access to two of my IP's to a page on my site in the .htaccess but it's a issue with my if statment that just the first IP checks and never checks the secound IP. My code is:

<If "%{REMOTE_ADDR} != '123.123.123.123'" AND "%{REMOTE_ADDR} != '456.456.456.456'">
RedirectMatch ^/mypage$ example.com [R=302,L]
</If>

I have tested with && insted for AND but it not work. What is wrong with this code?

CodePudding user response：

<If "%{REMOTE_ADDR} != '123.123.123.123'" AND "%{REMOTE_ADDR} != '456.456.456.456'">
RedirectMatch ^/mypage$ example.com [R=302,L]
</If>

You have multiple syntax errors here:

• As you pointed out, you need to use &&, not AND in the expression. There is no operator AND.

• The double quotes " should surround the entire expression. You essentially have two separate expressions, which is not supported.

• The RedirectMatch mod_alias directive is invalid. The 3rd (flags) argument [R=302,L] is part of the mod_rewrite RewriteRule directive and is not permitted here. The target URL (2nd argument) needs to be either a root-relative or absolute URL.

This should be written like this instead:

<If "%{REMOTE_ADDR} != '123.123.123.123' && %{REMOTE_ADDR} != '456.456.456.456'">
    RedirectMatch 302 ^/mypage$ https://example.com/
</If>

However, I would consider using mod_rewrite for this instead. For example:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !=123.123.123.123
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !=456.456.456.456
RewriteRule ^mypage$ https://example.com/ [R=302,L]

NB: There is no slash prefix on the URL-path matched by the RewriteRule pattern.

If you are intending to "block" access, consider sending a 403 Forbidden, instead of redirecting. For example:

:
RewriteRule ^mypage$ - [F]

Or, if using RedirectMatch inside the <If> expression:

RedirectMatch 403 ^/mypage$
