Restrict Location Match by IP via .htaccess

.htaccessapache-2.2litespeed

I have a url path defined in rewrite rules ('/admin') which I would like to restrict access to only 1 ip address. I'd image the best way would to use .htaccess rather than coding it in. I've tried this but it didn't work. It blocked all urls, not just urls with /admin.

<Location /admin>
    Deny from all
    Allow from x.x.x.x
</Location>

Location directive is not allowed in .htaccess file. Otherwise, you can add these lines in your Apache configuration file / virtual host file.

Can htpasswd be used to restrict access to a URL rather than a specific folder

From the docs:

Require Directive

Description:  Selects which authenticated users can access a resource
Syntax:       Require entity-name [entity-name] ...
Context:      directory, .htaccess
Override:     AuthConfig
Status:       Core
Module:       core

"directory" context means that you can put it in <Directory>, <Location>, <Files>, and <Proxy> sections. So, yes.

.htaccess rewrite with drupal and clean urls on mamp stack

The only difference I see between your .htaccess file and mine is that Rewrite base isn't commented out. Maybe changing that will help? Good luck with this.

  # If your site is running in a VirtualDocumentRoot at http://example.com/,
  # uncomment the following line:
  # RewriteBase /
