Hi,

Method 1:
If you don’t need the user.ini/.user.ini file, can simply remove the file.

Method 2:
Use the rewrite rule to block any file with extension .ini and .log,

RewriteRule ^.*\.(log|ini)$ - [F,L]

Reload the webserver,

systemctl restart lsws

Best,
Eric

    Hello, I don’t know if I will need that file later on. What is this file for?

    How can I use the rewrite rule? I’m a complete beginner in servers, if you could guide me trough the commands to achieve that it will be much appreciated.

    Thanks for your answer.

      Hi,

      Okay, please try running the following commands one time and it should works,

      sed -i '1iRewriteRule ^.*\\.(log|ini)$ - [F,L]' /var/www/html/.htaccess

      and 

      systemctl restart lsws

      Let us know if it works.

      Best,
      Eric
