Attached is the PHP Error log
Looks like the errors keep repeating

I did not see any error_log in the root, smf or sources folders.

Strange, all the information that BotBanish should pull from your tables and place into the .htaccess file were missing... This would generally mean premature termination for some reason. Could you check your php error log if you have access to it? Also check to see if there is a file titled error_log in your root, smf and sources folders.

Yes, domains.
The installation showed complete, it was not interpreted.

I hope you mean domains... Yes?
From your .htaccess files it looks like the BotBanish install did not complete. It does take a while to get everything in it's place. Did you interrupt the install?

Thank you,
The BOTs have been removed from the Botbanish blacklist

BTW: You are placing domains in the spiders blacklist. This will not work as you wish. Only information from the HTTP_USER_AGENT should be used to block bots.
Take all the domains out of the spiders black / white lists to avoid future issues.

The other .htaccess goes in the root. This one goes in the smf folder.

See attached root and smf files

Yes, I want to see your original htaccess file. There is something in your spider blacklist that is causing issues. The .htaccess file that I gave you should be placed in the root and the smf folder to protect both your website and forum.

Hi, should this file be placed in the root and SMF?
The old file in the SMF was the problem.

Do you want to see either of the old htaccess files?

Thank you
