Hi,
The Apache log files are (almost) entirely filled with lines like the one below, and they fill up very quickly.
| Code: | [Thu Aug 06 14:32:56.147608 2026] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 7240:tid 140597490640640] [client 20.52.171.102:33522] AH01071: Got error 'Primary script unknown'

My web host told me that this was caused by a bot and that it would be a good idea to add the following lines to an .htaccess file:
| Code: | <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^\s*$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "(?:Amazonbot|BLEXBot|Barkrowler|DataForSeoBot|MJ12bot|DotBot|AhrefsBot|SemrushBot|SeekportBot|CCBot|Baiduspider|Yandex|Sogou|PetalBot|Bytespider|OAI-SearchBot|GPTBot|ChatGPT-User|PerplexityBot|ClaudeBot)" [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [R=429,L]
</IfModule> |
What do you think? |
