Hi,
i am using CDbHttpSession, so my sessions are stored in the database.
Unfortunately there is a lot of crawler/bot traffic on my website.
Yii opens for every request a new session, if cookies are not enabled at the client side.
This leads to huge database overload.
Is there a way to stop starting sessions, if cookies are not enabled?
(It takes now 12 hours to blast my Memory table with 16MB Limit)
Best regards,
peili
I found same proble today!
Any solution?
Sessions are generally handled by PHP (server side) and cookies by browser (client side). Sure there are options / solutions to make one available on other side, but because in general these are two different sides of request handling procedure, I would assume that doing, what you’re asking for will be very hard, if not impossible.
Did you try simple "robots.txt" solutions?
http://en.wikipedia…andard#Examples
http://en.wikipedia.org/robots.txt
It nearly always helps my sites to reduce unwanted traffic.
Just put:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
to robots.txt file and place it in root of your site. Should help.
Or read above examples (or google for more) to get a more sophisticated solution.
Cheers,
