Order Deny, Allow, Deny from IP isn't blocking IP address, Not working

Question

order allow,deny
deny from 1.0.1.0/24
deny from 1.0.2.0/23
deny from 1.0.32.0/19
deny from 1.0.8.0/21
deny from 1.1.0.0/24
allow from all

I am using the above code to block the IP in .htaccess. But it's not working. If I remove "allow from all", then the website gives forbidden for all IP address. What is the problem with this ?

The httpd configuration is as follow:

<Directory /var/www/html/foldername/>
      Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
      </Directory>

Can anyone help ?
