WordPress: prevent comment spam on wordpress
Hi,
on wordpress based websites comment spam is all around.
If you are hosting WordPress on a apache webserver there is a simple but effective way to refuse automatically created comment spam from bots:
Redirect all HTTP Post requests directed to the wordpress comment form (wp-comments-post.php) and which do not have a referer from your site or has an empty User-Agent string away from your site. For example to the bots localhost 🙂

Apache: Setting up a simple reverse proxy
Hello,
this post describes how to setup a reverse proxy for a host. All http requests to host reverseproxy.domain.org should deliver the content of www.domain.org at Port 8080.
First you have to enable the requiered modules in httpd.conf
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
Then insert a virtual host directive:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName reverseproxy.domain.org
ProxyRequests off
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://www.domain.org:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://www.domain.org:8080/
</VirtualHost>
That’s it.
