Http_x_cluster_client_ip

[Nineaxis]

Hello.

My host doesn't use the standard method of pulling the user's IP address.

I need to change the call to 'HTTP_X_CLUSTER_CLIENT_IP'

I've searched, but have been unable to find where I can edit my 3.6.8 templates to use this different IP lookup.

Any clues?

Thanks guys

You will probably need to find the piece of code in the PHP files that pulls the user's IP address. I looked through the files just now but I am unable to find it. If you have some coding ability then I recommend you ask this question on www.vbulletin.org. They deal with code modifications over there.

Found it.

For anyone who is on a shared cluster environment (not shared hosting), here is where you modify your files:

includes\class_core.php]
Line 2120 : return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
Line 2130 : $alt_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

I changed it to

includes\class_core.php]
Line 2120 : return $_SERVER['HTTP_X_CLUSTER_CLIENT_IP'];
Line 2130 : $alt_ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_CLUSTER_CLIENT_IP'];

And now each of my different users has a different IP.
