Your Complete .htaccess Guide: Including .htaccess Basics and More

Thanks for the tutorial. I’m trying to fix web site managed by others that somehow lost its .htaccess file. I know what the file does, but I’ve never had to re-create it once the site’s been setup on a third-party host with plesk. Should I just create a file that denies public access and points to the error pages? I’m not sure what other parameters need to be included. Is there a tool that will help me do that?

For IP blocks, is this format correct?

order deny,allow
deny from
deny from
deny from
allow from all

Hi Kevin,

This seems to be correct, indeed.
As for deny, it may be done in 1 row like:
Deny from 111.111.111.111 222.222.222.222 333.333.333.333
