Make sure the mod_authz_host module is loaded by the Apache web server.

According to the Apache 2.4.x online docs:

Apache’s Require directive is used during the authorization phase to ensure that a user is allowed or denied access to a resource. mod_authz_host extends the authorization types with ip, host, forward-dns and local.

If the above info helps you solve this issue please mark this topic as ‘resolved’.

No, that is not the right module. And there is only one solution.

Try this. Create a temporary list_loaded_modules.php file and add these 5 lines of code:

<?php
echo '<pre>';
print_r(apache_get_modules());
echo '</pre>';
?>

Put the list_loaded_modules.php file on your server in the public html folder. Then access the script like this:

http://www.yourdomain.com/list_loaded_modules.php

The result should look similar to this:

Array
(
[0] => core
[1] => http_core
[2] => mod_so
[3] => sapi_apache2
[4] => mod_mime
[5] => mod_rewrite
[6]
…

If mod_authz_host does not exist in the list contact your hosting provider and ask them to load the mod_authz_host module in Apache.
Hopefully they will help you and make the necessary change to the Apache configuration.

Use the list_loaded_modules.php script to doublecheck.

Once the mod_authz_host module is loaded in Apache don’t forget to delete the list_loaded_modules.php script from your server.
