How does one close their site...

so that no part of it can be accessed? I want to close for repairs and have an announcement to that fact. How would I do it? thanks!

I would take the easy approach. Modify mainfile.php to place this code right after any hacker trap code

Code:

if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']!='127.0.0.2') die('Message');

Replace 127.0.0.2 and Message appropriately. This should catch 99%. I would also turn the login block and Forums off. As admin you can still access it.

I received this error...

Code:

Parse error: parse error in /home/******/public_html/mainfile.php on line 16





Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_lang() in /home/******/public_html/admin.php on line 35

Why not rename the index.php with another one that says the site is under construction ?

But that's my lazy way... And ofcourse the site is still accessible, but you'd have to go and look for it.

If you have linked to various parts of sites which I do heavily then that is just not enough.

Then you have some kind of a syntax error. Make sure you copied it correctly and have 2 quotes, etc.

I will do so... by the by what would the appropriate be instead of 127.0.0.2? Whatever my IP is, correct?

It does not seem to be working. I do not know what to put in place of your numbers.

You need to put your IP address from your ISP.

I understand. Can I put more than one IP in? What would the syntax be for that? Thank you!

Several ways but since your list will probably be small, just do something ike this

Code:

if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']!='127.0.0.2' AND $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']!='127.0.0.3' AND $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']!='127.0.0.4') die('Message');

Yes my list would only be two so... I do not get the errors now but the site won't even let me in and I know I put in the right IP... interesting!! Laughing

OOPS! Sorry. Shoud be

Code:

if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']!='127.0.0.2' AND $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']!='127.0.0.3') die('Message');

I forgot I had reversed the logic to verify it Smile
