What might be the syntax then to include in >> httpd.conf ? >> > Well, have you tried it ? > What problem do you get when you just do it ? Yes, I have tried but no success. I have created a file called blacklist.conf like this ````````````````` RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^ChinaClaw [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Custo [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Wget [OR] -- other rules------ RewriteRule ^.* - [F,L] ````````````````````````` Now in httpd.conf I have added the file as ````````` Include /etc/apache2/blacklist.conf ````````````````` Restarted the apache and no error message. BUT wget is successful. It was not successful when the configuration was in .htaccess. Have I missed something ?
