Icy Phoenix

Hi everybody!

I'm using Icy Phoenix 1.3.0.53a right now and I just moved to a new hosting company, getting a new problem so I would like to get some help.
The problem is that my .htaccess is identifying many people (including me) as a exploit and it's banning us performing a redirection to 127.0.0.1.
After further investigation, I found the problematic block:




So I had to (temporary) comment them.

I tried explaining the problem to my web hosting but they say it's "code fault", so I come here to see if you can help me.

Thank you very much!

Hi Danielc

I had the same problem on a first time live server install, same fix too.
Reported it in the conversion thread and did not get a "you should not do that"... yet :wink:

Thank you Joshua!

Let's see if MG or some other person can help us to find a "better" workaround.

Don´t worry,
like I read in Internet, it only prevent a php bug of the php version 4.3.10

And if you do not have this old php version, you will be fine. :mricy:
So commit it out or delete this 2 lines

But that only my guess... lets wait for MG or other users with better knowledge about it. ;-)

By the way, I think Cracker Tracker is also able to make this safe.

Thank you!

I'm running PHP 5.2 I think..
Anyway, I have read that it is related to a phpBB 2 bug, and as Icy Phoenix is based on it, I'm not really sure if it affects Icy too..

Greetings!

Thanks for posting this.

I have reviewed .htaccess by removing some very old stuff.

So it is safe to remove that lines?

Thank you so much!

Hi, I have updated .htaccess on GIT, I have removed some very oldish check.

Let me know if you have problems with the new one.

Is it safe to use the new .htaccess with Icy Phoenix 1.3.0.53a?

Thank you very much!
