Reoccuring DEBUG file functions_lookups.php

[gwynwyffar]

Just an update. After adjusting my configuration based on mc12345678's suggestion, I still had almost 30 debug files this morning. I think you were right in that someone is pounding on the site, because each file is generated within the space of about 2 minutes. I'll have to work with my web host to check logs to see if there's a particular offending IP.

I've made the suggested edit to the functions_lookups.php file posted by Torvista and will let you know if that solves the problem.

Thank you all for your prompt assistance! The Zen-Cart community is awesome!

When saying that the edit was made, was that the edit of some 56 versions of the statement, or just to the one location of the one file? Seems from that discussion, your added response, and the extra input that my initial suggestion definitely was not, nor would be the solution.

Hopefully though it will/can be worked out otherwise easily, ideally by the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] not being empty.

Thanks for the report back though and providing an indication of the way forward. :) it's one of those situations like I said, we'll more than likely hear from you while the problem persists, but when it has been resolved the issue will seem like a thing of the past.

I only edited the functions_lookups.php file, no DEBUG files yet.

Just to close the loop, lest people read this down the road and think they need to do the same, this is fixed in v1.6.0 ... ie: it will never allow a blank IP address to be used for the validation.
