Compilation
-----------
1. Ensure the SQLite development libraries (sqlite-devel) are installed.
2. Either run the build_from_scratch.sh script or run the following commands:
1. libtoolize
2. aclocal
3. autoconf
4. automake -a
5. ./configure --with-apache=<Apache location>
6. make CFLAGS=-lsqlite3
Installation
------------
1. Activate in Apache using:
a) (automatic) Using APXS:
apxs -i -a -n blockinator libmodblockinator.la
b) (manual) Add the following commands to the Apache configuration:
LoadModule blockinator_module modules/libmodblockinator.so
2. Configure mod_blockinator by adding the following lines in the appropriate location(s):
1. Define where the blocklist DB can be found:
<IfModule blockinator_module>
BlockinatorBlocklistDB /path/to/blocklist.db
</IfModule>
2. Create a mod_rewrite rule to block requests, if matched:
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Block} 1
RewriteRule . - [R=403,L]
3. Create the SQLite DB:
1. sqlite3 /path/to/blocklist.db
2. Run the following SQL:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS blocklist(remote_ip VARCHAR(15), forwarded_ip VARCHAR(15), useragent VARCHAR(256), cookie VARCHAR(1024), PRIMARY KEY(remote_ip));
3. (optional) Insert some test data:
Block requests from IP address 1.2.3.4
e.g. INSERT INTO blocklist VALUES("1.2.3.4", "ANY", "ANY", "ANY");
4. Restart Apache
