Web server software.

I used it extensively from probably 2002, maybe earlier, for pre-PHP 4 MediaWiki experimentation. It’s a fucking nightmare. Looking at some references, it might be around Apache 1.3

• .htaccess
• httpd.conf

• mod_rewrite

—

• Apache configuration for MediaWiki

• Throttling was a topic I vaguely researched, to no avail.

  • There used to be mod_throttle Apache 1.3, but it was abandoned and nuked.
• Stop Email Harvesting Robots

• How to block spambots, ban spybots, and tell unwanted robots to go to hell

client denied by server configuration ∞

If Apache’s logs/error.log gives:

[Fri Apr 01 03:30:08 2005] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] client denied by server configuration: Y:/xampplite/htdocs/.htaccess, referer: http://example.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=.htaccess&action=edit

Then edit hosts with something like:

localhost	192.168.1.10
127.0.0.1       192.168.1.10
example.com     192.168.1.10
