AdminCP not working with .htaccess

[momojomo]

Hi all,

I have tried to no avail to lockdown my main ADMINCP folder with .htaccess. I have been successful using the same .htaccess to restrict /core/admincp and /core/modcp but the main public_html/admincp does not work with this .htaccess.

Whenever i try to access myforum.com/admincp, it allows me do that despite putting this .htaccess file in the directory

#allow me
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

How can I do this?

Thank You

Don't worry about /admincp. It just redirects to /core/admincp and contains none of the actual functionality.

However if your IP address is the one listed in the allow from line, it would allow you access.
