Hi
I've been using your SEO mod for a while and I am extremely happy with the results. Google and other major search engines have been indexing my forum like crazy
Thanks for this great work.
But I have a problem and I will need your help.
With this Sanity worm, my forum has been bombed with worm bots (hundreds of visitors) and eating the bandwidth. Finally I've found a patch at phpbb to stop these bots crawling my forum. Here's the code they've suggested:
Code:RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)highlight=\%2527 [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^lwp [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [F,L]
I've added it to my .htaccess file, it has stopped the worms like a charm, but it caused a problem with my able2know SEO mod. Now I cannot get to any pages if I'm not logged in. Basically there's something I've to fix in .htaccess file. Here's my final .htaccess file:
Code:RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^community.* index.php [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^post-([0-9]*).html&highlight=([a-zA-Z0-9]*) viewtopic.php?p=$1&highlight=$2 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^post-([0-9]*).* viewtopic.php?p=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^view-poll([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)-([a-zA-Z]*).* viewtopic.php?t=$1&postdays=$2&postorder=$3&vote=viewresult [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^ecommerce([0-9]*).html&highlight=([a-zA-Z0-9]*) viewtopic.php?t=$1&highlight=$2 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^ecommerce([0-9]*).html&view=newest viewtopic.php?t=$1&view=newest [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^ecommerce([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)-([a-zA-Z]*)-([0-9]*).* viewtopic.php?t=$1&postdays=$2&postorder=$3&start=$4 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^ecommerce([0-9]*)-([0-9]*).* viewtopic.php?t=$1&start=$2 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^ecommerce([0-9]*).* viewtopic.php?t=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^ecommerce([0-9]*).html viewtopic.php?t=$1&start=$2&postdays=$3&postorder=$4&highlight=$5 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^mark-forum([0-9]*).html* viewforum.php?f=$1&mark=topics [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^updates-topic([0-9]*).html* viewtopic.php?t=$1&watch=topic [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^stop-updates-topic([0-9]*).html* viewtopic.php?t=$1&unwatch=topic [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^forum-([0-9]*).html viewforum.php?f=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^forum-([0-9]*).* viewforum.php?f=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^topic-([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)-([0-9]*).* viewforum.php?f=$1&topicdays=$2&start=$3 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^ptopic([0-9]*).* viewtopic.php?t=$1&view=previous [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^ntopic([0-9]*).* viewtopic.php?t=$1&view=next [L,NC]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)highlight=\%2527 [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^lwp [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [F,L]
What should I change to fix this problem and happily live without worms and with this great worm
Any help would appreciated, and thanks in advance
