Configuring Apache to return 404 with every request

  • 772

I have an Apache 2 running on a Linux box. Currently there at only 2 webpages in different paths:

/website1/site
/website2/site

I set apache to not server directory listings and I set the error documents to show a blank page when hitting something that doesn't exit.
I was wondering, is there any way force Apache to always return 404 or other error every time something other than those two websites are hit?

We are experiencing a lot of probes from proxy list sites and other places and all I want to do is just send an error every time they try / or any other path, without serving anything, not error pages, blank pages, etc.

helps is appreciated.

    You could add a few mod_rewrite directives to throw them for a loop:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^1\.2\.3\.4$
    RewriteRule .* http://%{REMOTE_ADDR} [R=301]
</IfModule>

    (where 1\.2\.3\.4 is a regexp matching your server's IP address(es) ...)
