I am trying to create an .htaccess file to stop certain bots etc.....<br />
When I create the file, as soon as I add bots to disallow, I can no longer view my website. I immediately get http 500 error. What would cause this.<!--content-->could you please put the contents of the .htaccess file here. <br />
<br />
1) What folder is the file in?<br />
<br />
2) What permissions did you set on the files?<!--content-->i explained how to ban bots by their ips in this post<br />
