APACHE troubles during setup

Hi,

Your server does not support PHP INI, therefore you would need to use the .htaccess. If you receive a “500 Internal Server Error”, can you just download your Apache error log? It will show us why it returned the error.

Regarding CloudFlare, I never used the Railgun service, but I assume your visitors will have CloudFlare IP? If it is the case, you could use the .htninja file (see the CloudFlare example) to ensure the firewall will use the correct IP.

1) Yes cloudflare CDNS and railgun are using a different IP/DNS.
2) With standard apache ninja .htaccess I receive this error on browser:

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

3) In the logs, the .htaccess error is always the same:

.htaccess: php_value not allowed here, referer: https://www.cabdrome.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=NinjaFirewall

For Cloudflare, you will need the .htninja as described in the link I gave to you in my previous message.

Regarding Apache error, you would need to add this directive to your Apache virtual host configuration file, that is, between the <Directory> and </Directory> tag:

<Directory /path/to/your/website/folder>
   AllowOverride All
</Directory>

The AllowOverride All directive should fix the issue.
You need to restart Apache after the change:

# apachectl restart

1) Apache virtual host configuration file:
Trough SFTP I have no rights to modify the Apache virtual host configuration file.. I can only download it, but I can not upload it. So I suppose that also trough SSH I will have the same limits and I have to open a ticket with the Vps assistance and they will do it instead of me (for sure to reboot the vps).
2) CLOUDFLARE COMPATIBILITY WITH NINJA FIREWALL:
The instructions say:

You can add/modify server variables in the .htninja file. For instance, users of the CDN service Cloudflare can copy the visitor real IP (HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP) into the REMOTE_ADDR variable so that NinjaFirewall will use the correct IP :

But then (cause of my bad english)I don’t understand if is enough to upload the .htninja file in the folder above the website document root, with this content:

<?php
/*
 +=============================================================+
 | NinjaFirewall optional configuration file                   |
 |                                                             |
 | See: https://ninjafirewall.com/wordpress/htninja/            |
 +=============================================================+
*/

// Users of Cloudflare CDN:
if (! empty($_SERVER["HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP"]) &&
 filter_var($_SERVER["HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP"],FILTER_VALIDATE_IP)) {
	$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] = $_SERVER["HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP"];
}

Or if I must also overwrite the variable REMOTE_ADDR with the Cloudflare IP?Or what else?

You can modify your Apache config via SSH, but if your server is managed, it is better to ask your host for help. Simply ask them to add the AllowOverride All directive to your Apache configuration so that you can use php_value instructions in your .htaccess.

The Cloudflare code is perfect. This is all you need. It will move the visitor original IP into the $_SERVER[“REMOTE_ADDR”] variable.
