Joshua, thanks for the tip! I tried the following in my httpd.conf virtual host portion:

        Alias /errors C:/somefolder/errors
       <Directory C:/somefolder/errors>
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
       </Directory>
   ErrorDocument 403 http://domain.maindomain/errors/403.html,
But I get "The Page Isn't Redirecting Properly" error. I also cannot go to the URL of http://domain.maindomain/errors/403.html file directly. I wonder if this is because I am restricting the top level directory (C:/somefolder) to certain IP addresses and then I am trying to access the subfolder (C:/somefolder/errors) to all. Can I restrict the top level directory, and still allow full access to a subdirectory?

Thank you,

Tonu

Hello,

I have set up two virtual hosts in my Apache 2.0 httpd.conf file running
on Windows XP.  I am restricting which IP addresses can access the pages
like so:
<Directory      C:/somefolder/*>
                # Restricting by IP access
                AllowOverride None
                Options None
                Order deny,allow
                Deny from all
                Allow from domain.maindomain
                Allow from xxx.xxx
                Allow from localhost
        </Directory>
When people are not in the allowed subnet range, they get a Forbidden
(Error 403) message.  I would like to modify this message.

I read that I could accomplish this by creating a htaccess file in

Forget about .htaccess. In httpd.conf, put
Alias /errors c:/unrestricted/path/to/errors
<Directory c:/unrestricted/path/to/errors>
Order allow,deny
Allow form all
</Directory>
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.html

Joshua.
