I have a question,

how do I ban IP adresses from my server ???

I have a guy that keeps visiting my site,
but i don't want him to visit on my site, because
he keeps trying to break into my server...

How do I ban his ip adress from my server ???

I already got his IP adres....

Somebody please ???

Thanks in advance,
Bilal

this is an easy one.... You need to place a file in your www folder called .htaccess Useing the deny from setting, you can block IP addresses, IP blocks, and even certiain websites.

To deny an IP address, use:

order allow,deny
deny from 123.45.6.7
allow from all

To deny an IP block, use:

order allow,deny
deny from 123.45.6.
allow from all

If you want to ban a website, use this format:

order allow,deny
deny from .somedomain.com
allow from all

After you have written your .htaccess file, save it, and restart apache. Also, make sure Windows does not save the file as htaccess.txt, or it will not work.

use a new deny from line for each ip address:

order allow,deny
deny from 123.45.6.7
deny from 234.56.7.8
allow from all
