I suggest updating to 2.4.1 and turning on password protection for comments.

Hi, did you resolve your spam problem with password protect? I am getting spam by Rulez700 and actually trace one Ip's and a domain name when I went to DSN Tools but I don’t know what to do with it.

Maybe can someone help please, thanks.

If you have the ip then add it to the banned list and turn on ip banning.

Hi Carbonize, I have block the ip's but it comes back with different ip's ecah time.

I'm getting the same problem several times a day from him - i block the IP address but it's different each time. Any ideas?

oK I just upgraded to 2.4.1 from 2.3.1 - we'll see if that helps any with this problem.

well Rulez700 hasn't been back yet, so i'm thinking that the upgrade to 2.4.1 did the trick.

I’m new to this so sorry if I have too many questions.

I download the guestbook already and it is on my hard drive. What I would like to know is how to up load it to the server the easy way.

I’m using FTP and when I get to the file I have to open each one and would have to up load it one or two file at the time, Is there a secret to just up load the whole folder to the server that I don’t know about or this is the only way to do it? Any help please I would appreciate it.

Just drag the entire folder across in your FTP client.

Copied the old config.inc.php to the new one, up load everything and then run the update on misc folder.

what is this message about?

<b><font size=4 face=Arial>Connection Error</font></b><hr><pre>MySQL Error : Connection Error
Error Number: 2002 Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (46)

any help please, thanks.
