In general, the .htaccess file is a way for you to
affect the configuration of your web pages, as allowed by the system
administrator. To make your pages (or a subset of your pages) visible
outside of Truman, edit a file called .htaccess (note the
dot at the beginning of the file name). In this file you can put:
<limit GET POST PUT> order deny,allow # deny from 202.57.377.22 # deny from 8.77.88.33 allow from all </limit>In this example the deny lines are commented out, but you could use them to deny access to particular IP addresses if there was some reason you wanted to do this. In this case
allow from all is the key
phrase that allows access from all IP addresses, including those outside
of Truman.
Note that there are lots of other things you can put in
your .htaccess file, some of which we will encounter
later in this class.
