htaccess Archives - IT Security and Internet

[FIXED] -WordPress- after login wp-admin says “not available”

AjayMay 7, 2017

When Using the All in One WP Security Plugin, WordPress- after login wp-admin says “not available”

This normally happens when you moved the site to another directory / htaccess file error

SOLUTION

The easiest way to disable the plugin is to log in to your server using FTP / cpanel file manager and rename this plugin’s folder temporarily.
Tampering with the DB can lead to issues if you make a mistake.

Deny IP Range in .htaccess file

AjayDecember 23, 2014

Most of the time you need to block the whole range of IPs using .htaccess file and i recently noticed below code not working.

<Files ajay.php>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 192.168.0.0/24
</Files>

After couple of searches i found the /24 doesn’t work here and you need to make the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0

to allow single IP is easy as below

<Files register.php>
order allow,deny
allow from 192.168.19.24
deny from all
</Files>

<Files search.php>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0
</Files>

in Linux life small changes make a big difference 🙂
