I've succesfully installed XAMPP on CentOS for intranet purposes. In "/opt/lampp/htdocs/" I've made a new folder (/opt/lampp/htdocs/intranet/) in which I'll put my files for the intranet.

Is it possible to limit acces to this folder (/opt/lampp/htdocs/intranet/) so only PC's with a IP-address within a specified range can access this folder?

E.g.:
the following pc's can access the folder:
192.168.1.5 - 192.168.1.35
192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.150

Thanks in advance!

Also check out .htaccess files. You use the same directives that Wiedmann linked you to and they're really easy to use. Google tutorials on .htaccess files if you haven't already checked them out, because they're extremely useful and will also help you do what you're trying to do.

I recently discovered their potential after researching it for a tutorial I was writing on it.

Thanks for the tip.

However, I must say I did the job with .htaccess.
