I'm looking to upload the website that I've developed locally to my remote web server. However, so that I can test that the upload has gone fine and that all the basic security is in place, I want to use the Apache configuration file (/etc/apache2/apache2.conf) to block every thing except the IP address from my internet connection. (I'm using Debian 7.6 and Apache 2.2.22)

Can anyone tell me why the following code isn't working? It's allowing everything access to the site.

I have a test directory that I just play with that I've currently blocked all on. I'll change test to a range of includes folders that I don't want anyone to have access to.

Additionally, is it not possible to list the directories by their path relative to the root web directory with the line: DocumentRoot /var/www?

<Directory />
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www">
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks +Includes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
deny from all
allow from *{MY IP ADDRESS}*
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/test">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Directory>
