Installing Honey Pots

Validation failures

Author: M.Griffiths (2 Jun 07 6:27am)

I've tried PHP scripting on two sites and perl on one and continually get validation failures.
Other php scripts work fine and this one showed no errors that I could see. I don't normally use perl but did remember to do the chmod. PHP doesn't need it as it runs OK on defaults but I did try it just to be sure - no difference.

I have successfully added a honeypot to my ISP webspace so I guess I could link to that but as there is nothing else of any note in that webspace it isn't ideal.

Any suggestions on how to debug this problem welcome.

Same here... tried it three times with a new PHP-script.
Currently my HP is out of order :-( Informed the webmaster.

FYI: it started working again here a couple of minutes ago today.

And it stopped again a couple of hours later...
Maybe some headlines regarding what exactly is going on, on the front page is a good idea?

We had a local DNS issue which caused our verification spider to not work properly (as well as a myriad of other problems). It should be fixed now. If you continue to experience problems, let us know via the Contact Us form.
