I want anyone to access my index.php, but no other files in the directory. However, 3 IPs can access anything in the directory. This .htaccess works fine in apache 2.2, but DO is 2.6, & I can’t find any examples on the web explaining exactly how to convert it. I know that “Allow from all” is now “Require all granted”, but I’m stumped on the proper syntax to allow the 3 IPs into all other files in the directory.
Authname “Admin” AuthUserFile secrethtpasswdfilename AuthType Basic
<files “index.php”> Allow from all -> now use Require all granted </files>
Order deny,allow Deny from all Require valid-user Allow from 1.2.3.4/24 Allow from 5.6.7.8 Allow from 9.10.11.12

Hi,
Just for clarification, I think you meant Apache 2.4 rather than 2.6. Apache 2.6 hasn’t been released yet.
The easiest solution in your case would be to use a server stack that has Apache 2.4 configured with mod_access_compat which is an Apache 2.4 module that makes the old-style access control directives continue to work on Apache 2.4. For example, ServerPilot configures Apache on your server with mod_access_compat. This way, you won’t need to worry about converting your .htaccess file at all.
