.htaccess

[Kim]

My host has told me to block an IP address that is
posting bad things on my guestbook, I need to create
an .thaccess file. How do I do that?

Be advised that blocking an IP address in all probability won't work. With most ISP's
each time users log off and back on they are assigned a different IP address.
Additionally AOL uses proxy servers and several AOL users could be accessing your site via
the same IP address.

Follow these steps:
To restrict a specific IP Address:
Open a text editor, like Notepad, and enter the text

<Limit GET POST PUT>
deny from all 123.123.12.123
</Limit>
Change the IP Address to the one you would like to block.

And then to save it with the name .htaccess and no .txt extension, click Save as and enter
".htaccess" with the quotes and then click OK.

Thanks Steve--where do I save it? Just in that site's
folder? I know it probably won't work...are there any
other ways to keep someone from posting on the guestbook--
other than deleting it like I have.

You place it in the same location or folder that contains the guestbook page.
