Hello I've created an error.html file in /var/www/error_page/ to display this page in the case of a 403 error.

and my /var/www/html/wordpress/.htaccess file looks like this


order allow,deny

allow from my_ip

ErrorDocument 403 /var/www/error_page/error.html

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

When I want to access my site from outside the network, I get this page and not the one I want

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access this resource.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/2.4.59 (Debian) Server at example.com Port 443

Thank you in advance for your help

You only allow from my_ip.
If you want to authorize specific ip or range of ip you need to add

 Require ip 192.168.*.*/24
 Require ip my_ip
 Require ip 127.0.0.1

And remove

order allow,deny

allow from my_ip

Plus for the 403 error on the 403 page you need to give apache read permission to the error_page directory or add an .htaccess file with the same require all granted directive

  • Thank you @alessandro for your reply. I need to display this page only to people not authorized to access my page (I have a list of IP addresses to authorize). And I've already run this command to authorize access to all sudo chmod 777 /var/www/error_page/ (I apologize if it's not clear, I'm quite a beginner)

  • Thanks @Alessandro, but I still get the same error message even though I've done what you suggested. sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/error_page/error.html sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/error_page

  • Did you create the .htaccess in error page directory with the require ip
    – Alessandro
    Commented Jul 4 at 9:32
  • Yes, and I've added lines with only require ip (Ex: Require ip 198.x.x.x).
