Is there any way to provide a list of ip addresses to ignore?
IP address filtering
in mint/config there is a file named auto.php - and that’s where you add the IP addresses you want to exlude. You’ll need a .htaccess-file in the root of your webdirectory containing:
php_value auto_prepend_file /path/to/www/directory/mint/config/auto.php
You’ll also find this string/path in the Mint Preferences / Instructions.
Hope this helps.
I’m trying to filter out my IP address and am having trouble.
I added my IP address to my auto.php file and also added an .htaccess file to my website’s root directory with this line:
php_value auto_prepend_file /www/eh2342/public_html/mint/config/auto.php
However, now whenever I try to access my site, I get a 500 Internal Server error. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
I’m not sure what the issue might be. A couple things to test (preferably using an htaccess file in a subdirectory rather than the root of your site):
- Is the full path to your auto.php correct?
- Does your server support appending files (running PHP-as-CGI instead of as an Apache module does not support this feature)?
- Is there another line in your .htaccess file creating a conflict?
- Perhaps a simple typo?
Same problem here.
What exactly do you mean with “root of my webdirectory”? The dir where the mint dir is?
For example my setup: /home/myusername/public_html/mysite/mint/config/auto.php
Where am I supposed to put the .htaccess? The problem is that I have no permissions to move out of the /myusername dir, as I am not the root admin of this server.
That path to auto.php looks right to me.
.htaccess file should go in your /public_html/ directory.
But, if you are running PHP-as-CGI (instead of as an Apache module), it will not auto_prepend_file (I don’t think it will 500 though).
I’ve got the .htaccess set up and working. Where do I configure IPs to ignore in auto.php?
For IP filtering in Mint 2.12 and greater please see the Advance preferences (add &advanced to your Preference URL). With that version of Mint, using the advanced .htaccess method is no longer required.
