I have tried for hours to make this working, without success.
There are serveral bots that try to access a non-existent directory on my webserver, /wild
This is quite annoying and is fulling MB and MB of error logs. I would like to block them. ideally, I would like that after X attempts to open anything inside /wild they get blocked for some time, but I think this is possible only with fail2ban, tht is not shipped with plesk 11.5.
What I was trying to do is at least to use mod_rewrite to send them a Gone error message (will this show upp in the log?)
This is what I wrote, but is not working (I have put it in the server configuration field in plesk 11.5 admin panel) (I am also tryting to deny access to any file inside some existing directories on the server, /Connections, /scripts and and directory containing /includes/ in the path). Why is not working?
<Directory />

# not a existent file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# and not a folder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# and not a symbolic link
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
# Is gone
RewriteRule ^wild(/|$) - [G,L]
# is a existent file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule (/|$)includes(/|$) - [F]

RewriteRule ^scripts(/|$) - [F]
