Thanks to Ben Wheeler, he had suggested that the Location directive might work. I tried it and it works fine for us. This is the entry I have in my /Archiveid/var/auto-apache.conf: <Location "/cgi/register"> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 10. </Location> What is happening now is that any request coming from other than Intranet, Forbidden message is displayed. I would actually like to display our own error message. I'm not quite sure how it implement this. Any suggestion on this are most welcome. Many thanks, - Francis On Thu, 16 Oct 2008, Arnoud Jippes wrote: > Did you find a solution Francis? > > I would like to restrict /cgi/user to our intranet by ip ranges, but > the perl handler seems to override my deny all en allow from? > > Thanks, > > Arnoud. > >> For our repository, we want to restrict creation of user accounts >> only to requests coming from the machines on our Intranet.
