Question

Answer 1

The problem is your allow line for the local network. Replace Allow from 192.168.10.0/24 with Allow from 192.168.10. (will allow 192.168.10.*).

For completeness, add a Deny from all line to make it clear that you're blocking everyone else.

Answer 2

I suppose the path inside Directory tag should be simply /

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName test.example.co.uk
  DocumentRoot /var/www/test
  ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error_test_co_uk.log
  LogLevel warn
  CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access_test_co_uk.log combined
  <Directory />
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from 192.168.10.0/24
    Allow from 127
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

and please don't forgot to restart apache

Answer 3

You're missing the Deny from all line? Oh, and using the wrong order.

Quoting the mod_access docs:

[...] all hosts in the apache.org domain are allowed access; all other hosts are denied access.

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from apache.org
