Re: [users@httpd] Redirecting based on IP

This impacts our SEO and also causes GSC to stop processing the rest of our site. The next steps I'd like to do is to redirect anyone not in that RequireAll statement to be redirected to the production site. Is this possible? Perhaps a RewriteCond that depends upon certain IPs, then otherwise redirects to the production site? Thanks, Dave The last time I ran into this was back in iptables days 20 years ago. Based on IP they were denied because my site at the time included my photo's and totalled about 13 gigabytes. This was in the days of bandwidth per month of 30 gigs. Because google has so many machines they used up all my allocation long before the month was up. I wound up putting another search engine in that database, mj12, so I wound up with an iptables file about 15k lines long. That continued until I had ported the whole thing to a couple new Seacrate 1t drives, both of which went tits down in the night within 2 weeks, just disappearing off the sata-III bus. I was so pi$$ed I didn't even warranty them. SSD's are it today. I have only one spinning rust drive in 8 machines here now, a 250 gig that refuses to die. iptables worked but took about 10 hours a month to maintain it cuz they moved the machines to a new address. Some of the iptables rules ended in /16, so I was blocking a goodly share of the ipv4 space when I had the gran crash. I controlled it most of the time but it was several hours a week keeping even with them. You never get ahead. I still have a registered name but all you get is the apache test page.

of a woman that gave me a near genius IQ. I quit school and went to work Troll bait. no, context. Omit (not emit) all noise, if you have a tech. qustion. We'll get along better without the snark. more context: I have now setup a www/geneslinuxbox directory with one file in it for test. I want to use a OT Passwd, before granting access which should stop the bots. Is there a module that will do that? Reason: my pipe is a 10 meg connection (2.5/sec upload) and the last time I had it setup, the bots of the world insisted on mirroring around 30 gigabytes, burning up all my upload bandwidth to the tune of 300+ gigabytes a month. 2 more questions: What do I put in robots.txt?, and where in the above hierarchy do I put it to discourage most of the bots? (not all of them obey it, we both know that, but iptables can block the rest.) That's 3 tech questions. Take care and stay well.

[users@httpd] setting up a new site?
Greetings all; I've had my own web page since 2003 or so but lost it all when a pair of new seacrate 2T drives died in the night last fall about 2 weeks apart. Needless to say, rebuilding this machine has been quite a chore because I did not take the time to trace out my usb cables and unplug any usb-serial adapters, because if they are found, the d-i will assume falsely they feed a brltty, and helpfully installs that driver and orca. I'll just suffice to say that by the time I stuffed a hot potato in orcas mouth it was not rebootable and the logs were still being spammed about 30 lines for every keystroke. An intolerable situation because no one on the debian mailing list knew how to properly remove them and I did a fine job of pestering them about it. Because the reboot was blocked by not finding the brltty drivers, explains the first 27 installs of bullseye. That was the only way to reboot. This is actually the 32nd install. But as far as setting up a new web site, I'm starting from nothing. The only files I've touched are apache2.conf and ports.conf to move it to localhost:6309 or geneslinuxbox:6309 both of which now bring up the test page. The 6309 is a peon to that cpu from Hitachi, which installed in place of the motorola 6809, makes a much more capable machine out of a 1980's trs-80 color computer. This site will be primarily a file server because I have some stuff for raspios such as a realtime kernel so linuxcnc can be run on a pi, in my case driving 1400 lbs of an 80 yo Sheldon lathe I've converted to cnc operation. All that is background, to intro myself. I am a long retired broadcast Chief Engineer, with a formal education of the 8th grade, but was born of a woman that gave me a near genius IQ. I quit school and went to work fixing anything with a line cord or batteries at 15 yo, and tv's once central Iowa had a tv station in late '47, now 87 yo and alone, my wife of 31 years passed from COPD on Dec 7nth 2020. I'd get me another but it takes so long to train them. :) I want to setup a root directory someplace, owned by www-data, and from which I can link to other locations as I find the resources to populate them with. Other than changing the port, its a virgin apache2 install whose test page works for http. I have not setup this directory yet, and I'd like to restrict it to https access only, my router is already setup to forward and NAT port 6309 to this machines local address, that's been working for years for http, so my question for the day is whats next? Thanks all, take care & stay well. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

And thanks. But on the other hand, the script in /etc/init.d does work, no errors or warnings logged but doesn't fix the problem when it does restart the server. So I'm clueless. And I have a friend in oregon I'm going to send a link to to see if he can pull a realtime kernel for an rpi4b that I've built, and see if he can get it.

I haven't removed anything myself, but synaptic may have.. This is as it was rebooted 9 something days ago. Some of the directories have a nov 3 date, but the files range from 2012 to 2019 since touched according to mc.

[users@httpd] apache2 disabled by apache2.conf error
Paranoia is running amok. It seems that line 80 expects an APACHE_RUN_DIR env var. It has been /var/www/html/gene since at least 18 years. And the address in the sig has been registered to me for at least a decade. But I can't access it, either by the address in the sig or at localhost now. dig shows my registered address has not changed. I also can't access my router at its assigned address but the rest of my network is running just fine. And I can ping it by the name in the sig. How do I set it, and who sets (owns) it? Thanks.

I'm in ipv4 territory, so when I see a bot in that log, I use its ipv4 address in /24 format to save writing 255 more rules. 6. really stubborn addresses that don't obey robots.txt get the /16 treatment. 7. 114 such rules later, I finally have my internet back. But it does take some maintenance time. I haven't changed my habits, but my bandwidth useage has dropped from 300+G a month a year ago to 30 or 40 now. And now if I have something of use to others, they can get it. Slowly, but they can get it.
