The Spamblocking feature wrecked my htaccess-File this night. The only entry left in there was
Code: Select all
#SPAMDENY

nothing else, no redirects, no... I know this feature is experimental. What do you consider should I take that down or is there a fix for this bug?

Hi!
Do you have a backup of your earlier .htaccess? Did you ever manually modify that file?
Usually that feature should have proper file locking so that only once the .htaccess file is written and appended...
Best regards,

Hi Garv,
shure I had a Backup and did meanwhile restore that...
No I've never modified the .htacess manually - though I've renamed it back from .httpdconfig to .htaccess some months ago, when we ha that thread about https-Support.
I've another bug with the current svn-Version. (see separate posting) probably the correlate...
For now I've disabled the Ip blocking feature in my productive environment.

Hi!
Okay. Disabling it might be the better idea; on my own blog I also disabled it because I found out apache seems to slow down a lot if the .htaccess is large
