Redirect certain IP range to homepage?

[Anidazen]

Hello.

 

Firstly - yes I have Googled this and spent quite a while trying to understand these complicated HTACCESS rewrite engines and stuff, and it just completely escapes me.

 

Is anyone able to create for me a line that will block 74.6.0.0 - 74.6.255.255 (all the 74.6's) from accessing http://www.mydomain.com/myfile.php5 and redirect them to http://www.mydomain.com ?

 

 

I'm trying to do this because I have a file that uses MASSIVE resources, and it's being hit repeatedly by Inkitomi's bot, in clear violation of robots.txt. This usage is costing me a fortune. The same principle will be used to any other bots doing this. Permenant redirect would be best ofc.

Place this one in your root:

ErrorDocument 403 /errorpages/redirect.php

order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from 74.6. #ips here

 

Place this in your errorpages directory.

order deny,allow
allow from all 

 

Place this also in errorpages dir

<?php
// redirect.php
if (ereg("74.6.", $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])) {
    header("Location: http://www.mydomain.com");
}else {
    die("INTERNAL SERVER ERROR!");
}
?>

Thinking about it the above will deny all pages to that person.

 

If you want to block a certain IP address from a page add this to the top:

 

<?php
//myfile.php5
if (ereg("74.6.", $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])) {
    header("Location: http://www.mydomain.com");
}
?>

 

That will take them away from the myfile.php5 page without the need for .htaccess
