403 forbidden .htaccess issue

Question

I have this .htaccess file in one directory on my site:

<limit GET> 
order deny,allow  
deny from all  
allow from 123.456.789
</limit>

ErrorDocument 403 403.html

It blocks everyone except for one IP. However, when an invalid IP visits, it does not show the 403.html file, but it just shows the text "403.html" on the page.

When I try to directly visit the 403.html page on the directory, it gets the same message too.

ErrorDocument requires a full path, i.e ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.html to work. It also takes HTML which is why it was showing that text.

Still have nothing, I put in `ErrorDocument 403 /403.php` and nothing happened. – Gkhan14 Jul 02 '13 at 01:22
Try just a static HTML file for it. – Nathan C Jul 02 '13 at 01:27
