Nesting mod_evasive directives within Files, Location, ...

[JanR Profile Website]

Is it possible to nest mod_evasive directives within Files or Location functions? I would like to know if one can enable mod_evasive only for certain URI's, like /wp-login /administrator, and so on.

For example (might not be syntactical correct):

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>
  LoadModule evasive_module modules/mod_evasive.so
  <IfModule evasive_module>
    #<Files wp-login\.php>
    <Location /wp-admin>
      DOSHashTableSize    2048
      DOSPageCount        20
      DOSSiteCount        150
      DOSPageInterval     2
      DOSSiteInterval     1
      DOSBlockingPeriod   120
    </Location>
    #</Files>
  </IfModule>
</VirtualHost>

WordPress plugins like VisualComposor don't work with mod_evasive very well, so I'd like to be able to secure only login URL's.

When this is not possible, it would make a nice feature for a future release...

Hello,

As is said in our docs (http://www.helicontech.com/ape/doc/mod_evasive.htm),
mod_evasive directives can only be used in httpd.conf and <VirtualHost> sections - this is by design as it is supposed to protect the entire server.
