djmatrix Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Hi,I wouldn't like to post it, until I'm 100% certain it does work, and do what it is meant to do. The problem (spiders using old URL's) is important enough for it to be made a contrib, even though it's only about 10 lines of Apache mod_rewrite code. :D Sounds like you need it now though, drop me an email if you do, and I'll send it to you. Peter <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi, Just wondering if there is an update on this yet as i could do with it. Also will this get the spiders to have a frenzy on my site again as they seemed to have slowed down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Can anyone help, firstly i know nothing about this 'sid' business, but i seem to be getting very high hits from USA in my stats and MSNBot - i think it relates to what you are all discussing. I am in the UK - http://www.pleasurezone.uk.com Just tried to install SID Killer v1.2 but ended up with completely blank page when re-loaded. I tried the direct replacement of .htaccess file for the mod and when didn?t work I tried my existing htaccess contents WITH the mod contents of htaccess. Whatever I tried, I got blank screen, when loading my site. I take it that all you do is load the file - .htaccess, as it is, without altering it? Here is what i put in .htaccess: # $Id: .htaccess,v 1.3 2003/06/12 10:53:20 hpdl Exp $ # Set some options Options -Indexes Options FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / # # Skip the next two rewriterules if NOT a spider RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !(msnbot|slurp|googlebot) [NC] RewriteRule .* - [s=2] # # case: leading and trailing parameters RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)&osCsid=[0-9a-z]+&(.+)$ [NC] RewriteRule (.*) $1?%1&%2 [R=301,L] # # case: leading-only, trailing-only or no additional parameters RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)&osCsid=[0-9a-z]+$|^osCsid=[0-9a-z]+&?(.*)$ [NC] RewriteRule (.*) $1?%1 [R=301,L] # # This is used with Apache WebServers # # For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Options' to # the AllowOverride configuration # # Example: # # <Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs"> # AllowOverride Options # </Directory> # # 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in the # apache/conf/httpd.conf file) # The following makes adjustments to the SSL protocol for Internet # Explorer browsers <IfModule mod_setenvif.c> <IfDefine SSL> SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \ nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \ downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 </IfDefine> </IfModule> # Fix certain PHP values # (commented out by default to prevent errors occuring on certain # servers) #<IfModule mod_php4.c> # php_value session.use_trans_sid 0 # php_value register_globals 1 #</IfModule> then i tried it WITH my original, which is this: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://pleasurezone.uk.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://pleasurezone.uk.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.pleasurezone.uk.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.pleasurezone.uk.com$ [NC] RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ http://www.pleasurezone.uk.com [R,NC] This alone, obviously works, but the mod screwed it up. I have tried to enable Friendly URL's in admin/configuration, but when i do so, it screws up my site. It doesn't load my right boxes and some content, so i have to dis-regard this. I really don't know if i have a spider/search engine problem or if someone is stealing bandwidth by linking to my pictures. My bandwidth has tripled in the last 30 days, using about 350mb per month, now in January, up to 1200mb, and i had to upgrade via my hosting company. I know somethings wrong as although i suddenly had 1000's more hits, i had zero sales! I know its a stupid comment, but i thought the idea of search engine's spidering our sites was a good thing? Also, i have recently enabled 'Forced Cookie' usage - is that a good thing to do, or not. Thank you for your time and patience.

peterr Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Steve, This post was put in 3 different forums, and has been replied to. Best not to ask questions about other contributions (i.e. the "Spider Session Remover" ) in a thread that is not relevant. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
