Installation

• download the actual [dbBotTrap_x.xx.zip] 5 installation archive
• in the Backend of the Content Management System select the installation archive from "Add-ons" -> "Modules" -> "Install module"

Now you must enable the tracking and blocking functions of Bot-Trap.

• copy the file /modules/dbbottrap/page.restrictor.php to the root directory / of your domain (along with the config.php)
• open the config.php with a texteditor

Insert the following code at the top of the config.php:

// init Page Restrictor first...
if (file_exists(dirname(__FILE__).'/page.restrictor.php')) {
  $logfile = dirname(__FILE__).'/modules/dbbottrap/logs/'.date('Ymd').'.log';
  define('PRES_LOG_FILE', $logfile);
  require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/page.restrictor.php'); 
}

Save the config.php at the webserver and dbBotTrap is ready for use.

First steps

Open dbBotTrap in the backend of the Content Management System "Admin-Tools" -> "dbBotTrap".

dbBotTrap will prompt you the status of the Bot-Trap function. The list will be empty at this time.
