♥yesudo Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 What is the ip address ? Was this the contrib ? http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...l/search,ban+ip Your online success is Paramount.
♥yesudo Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 What is the ip address ? Was this the contrib ? http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...l/search,ban+ip With this contrib the user can still look at pages on your site that are not part of index.php/default.php. So add: <?php require(DIR_FS_CATALOG . '_banned.php'); ?> in your header file also. Your online success is Paramount.

GsmCorner Posted April 24, 2004 Author Posted April 24, 2004 Thanks and the full ip is 65.54.164.61, still on my site
vasttech Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 You can also block the ip through your host. Most hosts have a feature in their control panels that will allow you to do this. In CPanel you can use IP Deny Manager. I believe there is also a way through .htaccess to block an IP, but I am not exactly sure. osCommerce Knowledge Base osCommerce Documentation Contributions

GsmCorner Posted April 24, 2004 Author Posted April 24, 2004 Thanks for all your help, looks like him/her/it is off my site now :) Tom
♥yesudo Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 You are best to still follow up that IP address - with regard to what Steve says. Your online success is Paramount.
GsmCorner Posted April 24, 2004 Author Posted April 24, 2004 hi, looked on iplists.com but i dont see the same ip on there... Tom
GsmCorner Posted April 24, 2004 Author Posted April 24, 2004 bad news, looks like him/her/its back on my site :o not on the index but >> /catalog/shopping_cart.php
Databuilder Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Have you set "Prevent Spider Sessions" to true?
GsmCorner Posted April 24, 2004 Author Posted April 24, 2004 Hi, just checked, its on false, is this meant to be on true ?
Databuilder Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Setting it to true may prevent the spider from establishing a session (not sure exactly how it determines it is a spider) and prevent it from adding products to shopping cart. I haven't looked into it much, but that is how I understand it works. Jason
♥yesudo Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Re your PM Tom - Add: <Limit GET> order deny,allow deny from 65.54.164.61 </Limit> to the .htaccess field in your store root directory. Your online success is Paramount.

♥yesudo Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 getting confused now.. Databuilder, if i set it to true, will that stop like google spiders etc.. ? yesudo, will this code ban it ? as this ip address is really flooding my site, my bandwidth aint doing too good :( Setting it to True will stop the spiders picking up session ids - which is better - so set it to true. And the .htaccess should stop the IP full stop. Your online success is Paramount.
