XF 1.2 Members Registering With Server IP Address

[Inkman]

Can anyone help please, i am seeing an increase of people joining my site but there ip address is showing as my server ip address, does anyone know what could be causing this problem please?

 

[Jeremy]

Do you have any proxies involved?

 

[RobParker]

We initially had this with how nginx was set up and it was proxy related. It also affected the number of users onlines stats.

Is it worth me contacting my host do you think?

Never hurts.

The last time I saw this happen was when a host had basically blocked IP look up. Their excuse was that is slowed them down.

I have just sent them a ticket so i will see what they say. Mine is normally pretty good but we will see lol.

Just had a reply:

We upgraded Apache. Those IP you see is during the module installation. We need to load a module to correctly display the IP addresses. You can safely ignore it.

Just had a reply:

Basically what I expected. While it was not blocked, the requirement was not there.

Glad you have this resolve (or will once your host fixes it)

Well after me being told this had been fixed, its hasn't. He even has said "well the other websites on the server are ok" so really dont know if its a XenForo issue :s

 

[Mike]

XenForo uses whatever comes through in $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] -- this comes directly from whatever is executing PHP (FastCGI server, Apache, etc). If they're doing a reverse proxy, then yes that may change the IP given to PHP. You should be able to demonstrate this trivially with a simple PHP info file (<?php phpinfo(); ?>).

You can override this in config.php if the original IP is actually forwarded in other header, but you shouldn't have to if it suddenly appeared and your host changed something -- ideally they would sort it.

Thanks @Mike i told my host exactly what you had said and funnily enough its now working.
Thanks so much for your reply.

I also suffered from an IP address used is the IP address of the server.
Who can guide me how to fix it?
