PLEASE READ: $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; showing as stolis IP.

[yytttt60]

Hi, I am just inquiring why the PHP function $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; is returning stoli's IP, is there anything my code and WordPress's code is wrong, i guess its something to do with the php.ini or Apaches config. I don't want a temporary solution please.

That is a result of the new load balancing architecture they are using. Not sure if there is a way to fix the environmental variable.

Try using either of:

$_SERVER[ 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR' ]
$_SERVER[ 'HTTP_X_REAL_IP' ]

You should beable to do this at the top of the script.

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER[ 'HTTP_X_REAL_IP'];
