Plugin generating different code for IP Blocking

    I check my .htaccess files often and started noticing that the plugin is producing deny (IP) instead of the customary Deny from (IP) when using Blacklist feature.

    Is this a new implementation?
    Does “deny (IP)” work?
    What could be causing this behavior?

    Hi, when did you notice this? Can you give an example of what you see now in your .htaccess file?

    What Apache version is your server running?

    Thank you

    Hi,

    “Deny <IP>” should be produced only for nginx servers. Maybe your webhost configuration changed and the plugin is no longer capable of detecting it as an apache server?

    If you can run phpinfo() on your website, it would be helpful to know what you have in _SERVER["SERVER_SOFTWARE"] row under PHP Variables.

    Thanks for your replies! I was unaware that nginx servers required that version. The host did migrate my account onto a different server / setup which coincided with the different output. The funny thing is that not all the sites are producing that output.

    Was fearing a hack especially since google searches did not verify the validity of the deny (IP) format. Thanks again for a great relief!
