php files not satisfying htaccess rules

Hello,


I'm trying to deny access to php files of specific folder, but it appears that all the htaccess rules are not applied for php files.
Even if i try with a simple one line:

deny from all

The rule is satisfied but not for php files.
Any advise please,

Thank you

@alldevtools,




.htaccess with FilesMatch can restrict access for files matching *.inc, *.php and so on
<FilesMatch "\.(?:inc|php|py|rb)$">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>


You can use The following easiest and one liner solution to deny access to certen file types:

RedirectMatch 403 ^/folder/.+\.(png|gif|js)$
This will return a 403 Access forbidden error for clients if they try to access /folder/file.extension .

Thank you GhulamQadir for the reply.I agree with you, but as I said before, i have tried the simpliest condition ever , wich is a non conditional deny rule.

deny from all

The rule is working fine for all type of files, except for files with .php extension.

I believe it's something related to the hosting configuration, but i can't figure out if it's customizable in the hosting console or not.



Regards,

Then please create a support ticket.

You probably have .htaccess disabled.

Which version of Linux? Which version of Apache?

The Apache configuration file path varies based up what you have installed.

For example: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf OR /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Look in you Apache configuration file for this line:
AllowOverride None

If it is set to "None" then .htaccess is disabled.

Change this line to "AllowOverride All"

Restart Apache

You can assign special file in htaccess like below.

<files setup.php>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</files>


setup.php file can't not read from outside.
