Through telnet or ssh. Are you on a virtual server or do you have full access to the server?

If you are on a virtual server you might need to get in tough with your host to find out more information on how to look at your error logs, and if they even provide them for you.

Also you may or may not be able to telnet/ssh in depending on your host and if they have that enabled on your account.

That was the problem - I'm not granted access to the error log. Is there a different type of code that I can try instead?

You should ask your host if you are allowed to use the Limit directive and/or the ErrorDocument directive. If they say no maybe you can talk them into enabling it. I have a feeling that is why your .htaccess file is not working, because they are not allowing you to override it.

My host was far from useful - I'm going to call again on Monday and hope that I get a different person on the phone. However, I was wondering if there's a code out there for this that's in java or some other language that I know I'll be able to use.

How much do you want to block? It IS possible to block a few pages in PHP, but would be somewhat time consuming to redo your whole page.

All I need to do is block this person from accessing the index page - if he can't get to that, he won't be able to get to the rest of it because of the (cruddy) design it has. Basically, the only page that he has the url for is the index page.

do you have access to PHP? if so:

Code: [ Select ]

<?
$ip = "$REMOTE_ADDR";
$block[0] = "***.***.***.***";
foreach ($block as $b)
{
if ($b == $ip)
{
$blocked = 1;
}
}
?>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<? if ($blocked != "")
{
echo ("");
}
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

<?
$ip = "$REMOTE_ADDR";
$block[0] = "***.***.***.***";
foreach ($block as $b)
{
if ($b == $ip)
{
$blocked = 1;
}
}
?>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<? if ($blocked != "")
{
echo ("<!---");
}
?>
page info
<? if ($blocked != "")
{
echo("--->");
}
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

That should do it.

I've never used php before, but it's worth a shot. Am I only supposed to be adding in the correct IP address or are there other components of the code that I need to put in? Can I just add this code in the header of the index page or will I have do redo the whole page with php?

basically just fill in the blanks, where the ***'s are put in the IP you wish to ban, then where it says page info is where all the page content goes (you can add a title and head tag as well in the appropriate places). Then resave the page as .php instead of .html.

Thank you so much - the code is working for me. One final question though, is there a place in the code that I can put the error page that I want the user to be redirected to? It's saved on an entirely different domain.

Edit: It looks as if the code is working a bit too well - it's blocking everyone.

It's highly unlikely that I'll ever need/want to block more than one person.

ok I may ahve made it too complicated then change this:

Code: [ Select ]

<?
$ip = "$REMOTE_ADDR";
$block[0] = "67.163.182.222";
foreach ($block as $b)
{
if ($b == $ip)
{
$blocked = 1;
}
}
?>

<?
$ip = "$REMOTE_ADDR";
$block[0] = "67.163.182.222";
foreach ($block as $b)
{
if ($b == $ip)
{
$blocked = 1;
}
}
?>

into:

Code: [ Select ]

<?
$ip = "$REMOTE_ADDR";
$block = "67.163.182.222";
if ($block == $ip)
{
$blocked = 1;
}
?>

<?
$ip = "$REMOTE_ADDR";
$block = "67.163.182.222";
if ($block == $ip)
{
$blocked = 1;
}
?>
