Stas, Here's a little report to answer your questions below about my error_log:
With: <Location /public> PerlAccessHandler 'sub {\ return Apache::Const::FORBIDDEN\ unless shift->connection->remote_ip=~m/^\Q10.3.4./;\ }' </Location> In my httpd.conf, then: [EMAIL PROTECTED] apache2]$bin/apachectl graceful [EMAIL PROTECTED] apache2]$tail logs/error_log [Sat Jul 03 16:48:48 2004] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing restart [Sat Jul 03 16:48:50 2004] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ... [Sat Jul 03 16:48:50 2004] [notice] Digest: done [Sat Jul 03 16:48:50 2004] [notice] Apache/2.0.49 (Unix) mod_perl/1.99_14 Perl/v5.8.4 mod_ssl/2.0.49 OpenSSL/0.9.7d DAV/2 configured -- resuming normal operations After this, I am able to access /public and there is no further action in error_log. Changing to this in httpd.conf: <Location /public> PerlAccessHandler 'sub {\ return Apache::FORBIDDEN\ unless shift->connection->remote_ip=~m/^\Q10.3.4./;\ }' </Location> All works as expected. Commenting this in my httpd.conf: #PerlModule Apache::compat Then: [EMAIL PROTECTED] apache2]$bin/apachectl graceful [Sat Jul 03 16:55:26 2004] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing restart [Sat Jul 03 16:55:28 2004] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ... [Sat Jul 03 16:55:28 2004] [notice] Digest: done [Sat Jul 03 16:55:28 2004] [notice] Apache/2.0.49 (Unix) mod_perl/1.99_14 Perl/v5.8.4 mod_ssl/2.0.49 OpenSSL/0.9.7d DAV/2 configured -- resuming normal operations And I am still blocked when I try to access /public.
