« on: January 19, 2010, 07:55:25 am »

Hi, my web host has disabled my entire site because of numerous queries coming from displayimage.php.

What version of coppermine were you using? I'm guessing you didn't upgrade for a while.

Read the following thread.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

If your webhost has suspended your site then you have to ask your webhost what you need to do to get your site back online. How could we possibly help?
Just make sure that your gallery is up-to-date and that it hasn't been hacked. If it was hacked, read Yikes, I've been hacked! Now what?

Googling for the term "Aportworm" shows that this seems to be the user agent string of some crawler or bot. Maybe your site was hammered. Anyway, we can't answer that. Please ask your webhost what you should do. The Aportworm seems to be related to the Russion site http://www.aport.ru/. Can't tell you what it is about, as I don't speak Russian, but according to the translation performed by Google it seems to be a regular portal and search site.

Thank you for the replies, I have spoken now to a second level person at the server who said the IP listed in the report out of Moscow was making the repeated connections and now the IP has simplay been blocked from accessing the site.

Again thank you the original support person made it seem the problem was the copermine files. I have the current version I upgraded 3 weeks ago.

I suggest reviewing your hosting contract though: getting spidered is something you usually want to happen (although you probably don't care if you're indexed by a Russian site or not). Approximately 900 hits from a spider in 40 minutes should not be too much for the webserver imo. Sounds like you're on budget webhosting...
