I have a weird situation here.
Yesterday I updated a website from 7.2 to 7.4.
But instead of doing a live update I copied the website in different folder (no sub folder) and created a new database from a backup.
No problems at all. The website worked. After that I updated the website to 7.4. Again no problems.
After a few changes on the new website (new skin etc.) I updated the IIS to the new website.
Everything worked. But after a few minutes I got the first fake registrations.
I never had any problems on the old website because I replaced the registration page described here
http://www.dnnsoftware.com/wiki/page/replacing-registration-page-with-custom-and-blocking-the-default-register-page
After the fake registrations showed up, I checked the old registration page www.domain.com/register which was actually deactivated
and I could go to the page (no 404 error). So I checked the filter and everything looked good. Anyway I deleted the filter
and saved it again without luck. The old registration page was still available.
I also checked the DotNetNuke.config and SiteUrls.config - everything looks good.
First question: Any idea what the problem is here?
To stop the fake registrations I added the following to the web.config:
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<denyUrlSequences>
<add sequence="/register" />
<add sequence="ctl=register"/>
<add sequence="/activity-feed" />
<add sequence="ctl=activity-feed"/>
</denyUrlSequences>
</requestFiltering>
</security>
Now I cant't access the old registration page (I get a 404 error) but I still get fake registrations.
Second questions: Any ideas why I still get the fake registrations?
