You are really grumpy, aren’t you? Of course I am reading. The question was “should I really kill ALL mentions of those words?”

Eg if I do pill, what if http://www.rape-and-pillage.com refers to me? if I kill credit, what if http://www.credit.co.uk wants to use my services?

FYI, my .htaccess now looks like this, and I have only just started: I suspect I will have 1,000 terms in there before I am done….;)

Oh and what am I tryoing to do? When this happens, several times a day (like, 2-4 times), my server load goes up to at least 50-100. So the server effectively dies. I turn off httpd (which takes me forever under that load) and the load vanishes immediately.

But surely, whoami, mod_rewrite does not do the kind of stuff that this script does?

Terry, yes, it is the very first line.

And your ideas are very welcome, Terry!

AHA — the string as suggested by the sacript was wrong: it was <?php include_once (“/var/www/html/willems.ca/blog/wp-content/referrer-karma.php”); check_referrer(); ?>

That should have read <?php include_once (“/blog/wp-content/referrer-karma.php”); check_referrer(); ?>

So now, wqhen I browse my own site, I get a blank page only. Maybe my internal IP is not reverse lookup-able or something?

The database is still empty though., In other words the passwords etc are good, since the tables have been created – but the tables are still empty.

It seems to be working now – added to /bog/index.php

But I see nothing in the logs yet, even though I see people hitting the blog (I am watching tail -f /var/log/httpd/access.log in real time). Is ther ea delay before log entries show, or does it only show blocked entries?

Ok, tha looks like what I need, except when I run the test page, I see only a red bar that says:

check_referrer() error.

Does that mean it cannot do a reverse lookup on my own internal IP, or is something else wrong? I am reluctant to mess with my site unless I know what is going on, of course.. anyone use this great-looking script?
