Limit connections per ip

[surfweb]

I'm new user of cPanel with RHE v4 and Apapche 1.3.

I'm going to start a membership movie site and want to limit connections to video
files per ip because they give a server heavy load.

I knew there was a module to enable this configurations but the link has gone now.
http://dominia.org/djao/limitipconn.html
This module enabled that only 1 access was allowed per one ip at the same time.

Does anyone know the module to enable it?

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,

Installing mod_limitipconn.c

This is the apache module mod_limitipconn.c, which
allows web server administrators to limit the number of simultaneous downloads permitted from a single IP address.

=================
Log into ssh

cd /usr/src
wget http://dominia.org/djao/limit/mod_li...nn-0.04.tar.gz
tar xzvf mod_limitipconn-0.04.tar.gz
cd mod_limitipconn-0.04

pico Makefile
find the line that reads APXS=apxs[/b]
change that to
APXS=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs

press cntrl O to save
then cntrl X

// if your locations to apxs is different
locate apxs and copy the path
then paste that in
//

make
make install

service httpd restart

pico -w /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

locate ExtendedStatus
Make sure ExtendedStatus is on and without the comment at the start

and add this line to every virtual directory you want to limit
or add it once to the main directory to limit all

<IfModule mod_limitipconn.c>
<Location /somewhere>
MaxConnPerIP 3
# exempting images from the connection limit is often a good
# idea if your web page has lots of inline images, since these
# pages often generate a flurry of concurrent image requests
NoIPLimit image/*
</Location>

<Location /mp3>
MaxConnPerIP 1
# In this case, all MIME types other than audio/mpeg and video*
# are exempt from the limit check
OnlyIPLimit audio/mpeg video
</Location>
</IfModule>

press cntrl O to save
then cntrl X
then service httpd restart

Hello,

Thank you for explaining in detail for me.
Unfortunately this site seems to be down.

http://dominia.org/djao/limit/mod_li...nn-0.04.tar.gz

Could you upload somewhere this module or sent me by email if you have?

I need mod_limitipconn.c for Apache 1.3 and 2.0.
Here is an original google cache links:
http://www.google.com/search?q=cache...d=1&lr=lang_en
http://www.google.com/search?q=cache...p&ct=clnk&cd=1

but cannot download the module at all.

Hello,

I appreciate you from my heart!
And http://dominia.org/djao/ has been back now.

http://dominia.org/djao/limit/mod_li...nn-0.22.tar.gz
seems to work only with Apache 2.0.
http://dominia.org/djao/limitipconn2.html

Does mod_limitipconn-0.22.tar.gz work with Apache 1.3 too as
http://dominia.org/djao/limit/mod_li...nn-0.04.tar.gz ?

Thank you.

How can I check that this is really working? Apache is running after installation so the configuration should be ok but I can't see no restrictions of connections.

I tried to simply catch everything using FlashGet and netstat showed me 85 open tcp connections.

I am using 3 connections limit..

It is not working for me. This if from the httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerAlias domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/eio982/public_html
BytesLog domlogs/domain.com-bytes_log
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir disabled
UserDir enabled eio982
</IfModule>
ServerName www.domain.com

<IfModule mod_limitipconn.c>
<Location /home/eio982/public_html>
MaxConnPerIP 3
# exempting images from the connection limit is often a good
# idea if your web page has lots of inline images, since these
# pages often generate a flurry of concurrent image requests
NoIPLimit image/*
</Location>


</IfModule>

User eio982
Group eio982
CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/domain.com combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/eio982/public_html/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>

IP and domain name was changed..

Does anyone know if cpanel Apache can be easily modified with the limitipcon patch to allow limiting on a per vhost basis?

Thanks

Because you use Apache 1.3.xx i recommend you mod_ipdrop (http://miksir.pp.ru/?r=65). it is best of the best apache modules specialy designed for preventing flood attack. Installation is very easy as well as setup.

Do these instructions still apply now that we have to use Easy Apache3?
