Dear sirs,
pls help:
What I’m trying to do:
I have a VMIN server with 5-websites, and a public NIC. Everything is working fine.
I’m trying to figure out how to totally block outside access to just 1-website from the internet and allow only a range/several IPs.
On my test server in my local LAN, where I setup a couple of websites:
I went to Virtualmin >> virtual-server name >> services >> configure website
clicked on Directory /home/xyz/public_html >> Access control
action: deny >> request from IP >> then I added the IP of a test(static) PC
save >> apply changes,
etc
Tried accessing from a PC with above IP, the site in question is now blocked.
It shows forbidden: you dont have permission to access this resource.
This is what I want to happen.
Note: other sites on the same server are still opening, ip resolving, etc.
Problem: how can I undo the above:
Now I want to undo what I just did, so I went back there, removed the IP,
action: allow all requests >> save >> apply changes
reloading the same url is giving error that its still “Forbidden: you dont have permission to access this resource”
I have rechecked the access control interface, the IP(which I listed for deny) is not listed anywhere.
I have even rebooted my test server and cleared browser cache, same thing, URL is still forbidden.
How can I undo what I did, allow access to the 1-website which I denied access to before. It seems allowing access is not to be done in the same interface where I denied access
regards
ToK
