Installing Honey Pots

Unable to Activate

Author: C.Jackson8 (14 Jan 20 7:16pm)

I am unable to activate my new honeypot code; we wanted to upgrade the pot from PHP5 to PHP7. Downloaded the new zip file; copied the entire zip file to the webserver; and extracted the zip file on the server. Visited the page; and it continues to fail; no modifications, no other errors; debug or helpful data. It simply says it failed to pass validation checks.

It looks like if you have a web application firewall that exceptions have to be added. We were able to get the right origin IP address for the validation spider from Support; and the pot validated successfully. Just wanted to put this out here for anyone else having this problem; so they can quickly reach out to support folks; instead of trying different ways of uploading the script.
