Elxis 4.4 updated wamp localhost Request dropped

[xmanhattan]

Hello all,

I updated 4.3 to 4.4, logged into administration and updated the db.
All went well until I opened a second browser (firefox) and click on a few links to check that everything was okay.

Then I received the following error message and am now locked out from seeing the site completely locally:
Request dropped!
You have been banned! If you think this is wrong contact the site administrator.
Reference code: SEC-DEFB-0001

I read the other posts regarding this issue but did not find a solution.
Elxis repository folder is default
Php is 5.13

Advice and help?

I have just update a website without any problem. Unblock yourself and continue.

Hmmm, you might want to tell me how to unblock myself.

Until version 4.3 the solution was to edit/delete the file defender_ban.php which in on repository. Haven't check if anything changes with the 4.4 version but probalby the solution is the same.

michalis1984,

Thanks found it.

For others:

edit defender_ban.php and delete the line that bans you like this one:

Code: [Select]

\repository\logs\defender_ban.php

'127x0x0x1' => array('times' => 4, 'refcode' => 'SEC-DEFG-0025', 'date' => '2016-03-06 10:30:11'),

NOTE: from the beginning of the line including the comma at the end, in case you have other lines in there.

hello all,
i deleted all ban list but still can not login?

Hello ahmet,
copy all php files from repository logs folder to your local disk.
edit each one using notepad or another editor such as notepad++
and delete the ip's that are in the arrays.
example
$ban = array(
192.168.1.99
);
then copy them back to your server.
