: Conditional RedirectMatch based on IP How do I use this RedirectMatch with limiting by IP address? This is what I have right now, and it works as is: RewriteRule ^dir.*$ http://www.mysite.org/otherdir/

@Jamie184

Ok, I finally got this to work (sort of). Here's my final code

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !=123.456.789.0
RewriteRule ^secretdir- [F]


I removed the escaping of the periods, and now it seems to work with my external IP address. I'm not sure if that's what is actually causing the problem, but now it works.

I say that it sort of works because (1) it's not redirecting to the dir I want it to, and (2) it's returning a 403 status. I'm almost ready to take /secretdir live, so I wish I could return a 302 status.

I hope this helps anyone who runs in to a bizarre problem like this.

You need to add conditions to your match, like this:

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !=123.123.123.123 [OR]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !=123.123.123.124
RedirectMatch 302 ^/mydir/.*$ mysite.org/myotherdir

Obviously, replace the 123 stuff with the actual IP addresses in question, remembering to escape the dots, as shown.
