Oaf357 - I don't claim any expertise in this stuff, all I can say is that this is what I cut and pasted directly out of this forum, with a few spider additions, which shouldn't change how the script runs. You might try cutting out the first lines of

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} q=guestbook [NC,OR]

(just the referer ones with guestbook, and see if that makes a difference?), also cut out the first line source comment, just to be on the safe side, then see if you get the same errors.

I've been running it for a few days, without any errors, but that's just one server on one webhoster, so I can't tell you there's nothing wrong with it, maybe some of the other people who have contributed can take a look at it tech.ratmachines.com/downloads/sample_wbmw.txt
here and let us know.

Here are the first and last lines of the script, however, if someone can spot an error (the dots represent the cut out part:
===============================

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} q=guestbook [NC,OR]
.....................
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Zeus [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^ZyBorg

RewriteRule ^.* - [F,L]

===============================

You might want to post what errors you got exactly, then somebody might be able to help you, I'm not very good at this stuff, but some of the people on this forum are.
