Also, note that the iptables commands are using a “banned” chain that doesn’t usually exist. I set it up using something along the lines of:

iptables -N banned
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -j banned

before every other rule (it should be one of the first rules in your INPUT chain). Anyway, if you’re not familiar with firewall rules, you should look for some tutorials and documentation to study a bit.

i am stuck here :

#!/bin/sh
IP=$1
IPTABLES=/sbin/iptables
$IPTABLES -A banned -s $IP -p TCP –dport 80 -j DROP
echo “$IPTABLES -D banned -s $IP -p TCP –dport 80 -j DROP” | at now + 2 hours ” >>>>

i create this script and name it as “/root/scripts/ban_ip.sh” OK ?

Then i am stuck here :

Don’t forget to grant the permission to run the script to the account used by apache. My sudoers config contains:

www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /root/scripts/ban_ip.sh”

I rerally need some help on that.. I mean do what ? chown that file as apache ?

please explain the steps to do that…

Thanks for helping me Simone

Once that is done, it’s just a matter of editing a few files, I’m not sure how I could make it simpler…

Thanks in advance really great post !

WP is making no changes to .htaccess. Permission is 666 which I can’t change from FTP.

I am using default in permalink settings. http://rackjite.com/?p=123
Anything else and I get the WP WHOOPS FILE NOT FOUND.

It all works well internally and outside coming into the domain url.
But Google results seem to have an /archive in the URL of all 9000 articles making 404s. (but I noticed today a day later that google has TWO results now for a string to me one works and one does not. Will the search engine bots fix this as the crawl?

So I guess I need help with a custom structure string. I would like to include the postname.
Do I need an .htaccesss code line to do or undo ARCHIVES.
And do I need to go SSH to change the CHOD of the .htaccess file so maybe WP can do all this automatically?

Traffic is poor!

Troubles at… rackjite.com

Thanx Simone, been a few days and I can’t seem to get any help anywhere else on this.

As to SEO, having the post name in the URL is good, the “archive” bit is not a problem (nor a bonus).

I as advised to put the following in SETTINGS PERMALINK CUSTOM STRING

/archives/%post_id%-%postname%.html

And “categories” in category base.

Everything now has /archive/ in the link. Is that a problem with SEO, or should I leave the /ARCHIVE out or is that what helped make it all work? Ya think?
