    Is there anyway to stop this? e.g block someone after X requests in a minute

    Thanks,

    This is some of the instructions:
    However $APACHE_ROOT/bin/apxs -i -a -c mod_evasive20.c doesnt excute i just get the error -bash: /bin/apxs: No such file or directory


    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Alex
