Ok, I was messing with my Protector & tried to mod the mainfile.php as recommended ... which didn't work!
In the meantime, I have banned myself. No problem, I thought, I'd setup my rescue file. But now it appears I can't remember the password I type in.
Ack! What can I do???
Okay, I tried deleting Protector and then reinstalling .... I still can't access my site. I just get a white page.
Anyone have a brilliant idea for me to try???
Helllooooooooo?
Am I the only one hearing the echo? Is there NO ONE out here that can suggest a solution to my messs up?
I'm sorry about my late answer.
The easiest way to recover from "IP banned", edit include/common.php
Search this and comment-out exit() ;
if ($xoopsConfig['enable_badips'] == 1 && isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) && $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] != '') {
foreach ($xoopsConfig['bad_ips'] as $bi) {
if (!empty($bi) && preg_match("/".$bi."/", $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])) {
exit();
}
}
}
After this, you can disabe "IP ban" or uninstall Protector.
