How can I ban someone's IP so that when he/she visits my site this message would appear in his/her screen:

HTTP Error 403
403.6 Forbidden: IP address rejected

This error is caused when the server has a list of IP addresses that are not allowed to access the site, and the IP address you are using is in this list.

Please contact the Web server's administrator if the problem persists.

.htaccess deny

ipchains
iptables
.htaccess

sorry clocker what? how do i do ipchains and iptables?

It is a linux firewall... so you could only really make use of it if you were on a dedicated server.

Your site suspended/deleted from your hosting company possible.

Have nice day
:)

1upromo,
SirKC is asking how to block visitors to his site, not why he is receiving an error. He is trying to generate an error for a banned user.

1upromo has suddenly started inane responses in a couple of forums the last 2 days AKA as site promotion? :mad:

I wonder, :)

these messages are only my opinions.

Trying to boost his post count i think...:angry:

Thanks for posting that esdjco that helped me too.

What kind of web server are you using? Do you have access to your router(s) configuration? I prefer to block these annoying people at our gateways.

You could do it through PHP.

No problem JennyAnn. :) .htaccess rocks!
