Dear all... My system is ubuntu server 14.04, Apache 2.4 with ispconfig3 On the last month i realize a big amounth of trafica coming from bad bots, like dotbot, SeznamBot, AhrefsBot , and other fellows.... After search google i realize we can block them with the following code... Go to: etc/apache2/apache2.conf SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^DotBot" bad_user SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^AhrefsBot" bad_user <Directory /> <RequireAll> Require all granted Require not env bad_user </RequireAll> </Directory> But the problem i think is because in ispconfig3 i have a rewrite from HTTP to HTTPS... And this is the main cause for the above code do nothing... One of experiences i made is the following... I have for example 2 sites and the default apache page in /var/www /var/www/html - Default apache file /var/www/site1.com - Site1 /var/www/site2.com - Site2 I try to make a small experience block all sites on my server, for that i place in default apache2.conf in /etc/apache2/ <code> <Directory /var/www> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require all denied </Directory> </code> With this i expect to block all sites in my server, but i realize one default apache page is blocked and when i try to access typing the ip on browser i got the message Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. But the other sites (Site1.com and site2.com) si still can access with no issues... With this i beleave the problem can be th HTTP to HTTPS rewrite set on ispconfig.... How can make the above code work for the sites with HTTPS rewrite???? I appretiate any help... Best Regards João Carrolo
