[gentoo-user] Apache2 bandwidth limiting help needed

[Jayson Smith]

Hi all,

     I've been using MOD_BW, but for some reason it's stopped working. Don't 
know why, everything's configured properly. So I was going to try MOD_CBAND. 
When I have it installed, E.G. '-D CBAND' in the Apache2 options, trying to 
go to my website results in a 403 Forbidden error. This happens even if I 
give a bad URL on my website, something that would normally result in a 404 
Not Found error. Here's the config file. I'm going pretty much by the 
example in the file. If I'm doing something obviously wrong, please let me 
know!
Thanks.

# This file only loads mod_cband and enables /cband-status page.
# For examples please consult the vhosts.conf.example.gz,
# vhosts2.conf.example.gz and vhosts3.conf.example.gz files installed in
# /usr/share/doc/mod_cband-*/

<IfDefine CBAND>
LoadModule cband_module modules/mod_cband.so

<Location /cband-status>
 SetHandler cband-status
</Location>

# Some defaults:
CBandDefaultExceededURL http://www.google.com
#CBandScoreFlushPeriod 100

# And in virtual host configuration to limit it's speed:

 <IfModule mod_cband.c>
  CBandLimit 600M
  CBandExceededURL http://www.bluegrasspals.com/bandwidth.html
  CBandScoreboard /var/run/mod_cband.bluegrasspals.scoreboard
  CBandPeriod 600S
  CBandSpeed 40kb 10 5
  CBandRemoteSpeed 40kb/s 10 5
 </IfModule>
