OK, I set up a custom 401 page in /401/

directory I want to block is

/ime/ down from root

.htaccess deny gives a server generated 401 error
when a blocked IP tries to access this diectory.....

BUT Not my custom one in /401/401.php

why would this be?

The .htaccess file in /ime/

has

ErrorDocument 401 401/401.php
<Limit GET>
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from 82.133.113.185 #nildram.co.uk test
</Limit>

in it AND it blocks my IP!!!

it just won't use my custom 401 page in /401/ off root

FB

Resolution?
