Creating a .htaccess

[christiandb]

I made this .htaccess:

Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1

but it doesn't work. When I try to enter localhost/phpmyadmin it gives the following error:

Server fout!

De server got an internal bug and can't answer your request. The server is overloaded or there's something wrong with a CGI-script.

Error 500
localhost
11/03/08 19:29:09
Apache/2.2.9 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8i mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.2.6

Please help me btw I'm using the newest PHPmyadmin

Regards,

Chris

EDIT: this might not be the official error because the error was dutch and I just translated it with my horrible english .

I changed it into this:

<Limit GET POST>

     order deny,allow

     deny from all

     allow from localhost

</Limit>

and:

<Limit GET POST>

     order deny,allow

     deny from all

     allow from 127.0.0.1

</Limit>

They both gave me the same error.

Try using this instead:

Order allow,deny
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Deny from all

Doesnt work too. I don't want to move the PHPmyadmin folder to the htdocs folder because that will bring security problems.

Wich type of "SECURITY PROBLEMS"? On the contrary it will be more sure cuz you will be the only one wich will know the path to phpmyadmin... and the phpmyadmin will have an "HTTACCES" wich mean no1 will enter and im almost 100% sure that will not have security problem cuz phpmyadmin is an aplication made on PHP...

ok so you advice me to move it to htdocs and then put a .htaccess file in it? and change the map name of phpmyadmin?
