 Posted: Sun May 01, 2005 1:40 am Post subject: apache block by referrer |
 |
|
| Ok, so my blog gets some blog spam now and then. I just realized that a great quantity of this blog spam comes from visits from certain urls like whvc.net. How can I configure apache to block anybody from whvc.net? How about blocking all visints from anyone with a URL that matches a particular regular expression like /poker/. If I could do this it would make my life a whole lot easier. Thanks. |

you could try this by adding it to your vhost..
| Code: | <Directory />
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from whvc.net
</Directory> |
If you want to do it with regex.. you could try mod_rewrite. I think you can block them, or at least redirect them with mod_rewrite. I would try the deny statement above first.

awesome thanks, maybe I'll do a mod_rewrite later so that I can make a text file with a list of domains to block and then the regex will get inserted into the config.
If anyone else has done this already, or wants to do it for me though, I'm not going to stop you  |

You can do it via PHP w/RegEx on your script, but you won't be able to do that with mod_rewrite, since you would need to restart the server for the changes to be loaded.
