Without a link where we can see the problem I'm going to take a WILD GUESS here and say that you've banned your own domain in the antispam list.

I can get there from the forums, but can't get anywhere from inside you're own domain. You knew that!

I'll say it again: it looks like you banned yourself in your local antispam table. There is nothing in the master antispam list that would block any part of your URL. You're running 1.6 alpha, so you can use the 'filter' feature on the antispam tab to search for whatever it is that's blocking your site from refering to your own site. rss or dub or dubai or ai.com are nice little filters to check out.

Can you access your database with something like phpmyadmin through your web host? If so then you can search your "evo_antispam" table to see if you can figure out what is causing your blog to think your blog is a spammer.

The same thing will apply, though you'll have to be hip to the syntax phpmyadmin uses to search a table. You'll want to search for "like" conditions, which means the search string it uses will be something like this:

select from `evo_antispam` where `aspm_string` LIKE %'dubai'%


That's not exactly what it'll give - all I did was type what my head tells me it oughta be like - but the idea is you have to select "LIKE" from the dropdown box when you "search" your antispam table after selecting it. You might have to search a couple of different strings to figure out which part of your URL is the key that is matching in your antispam list, assuming this is really the problem. I'd start with 'dubai' if I were you since I suspect you've got yourself in your own banned list.

This would make a nice feature: NOT allowing a blogger to add or report an antispam keyword that would ban their own base URL.

Good luck, and let us know if you get resolution or not.

makarios, I've tried reproducing it by using your site as referer for http://demo.b2evolution.net - no problems.

So, please set $debug = 1 in /conf/advanced.php and look at the debuglog at the bottom of the page.

There should be hints. Either in the "hits" section or DB query list, where it checks the evo_antispam table. Of course, you should look at the Debuglog that gets displayed on the referer-spam-page.

makarios, a follow up to your private message, where you've sent me your /conf/_application.php file (!).

Please just write

$debug = 1;

at the end of /conf/_advanced.php (!), in a single line, before the last "?>" (if there's any). This should output a Debuglog at the end of every b2evo page. Please look at it and when not sure, just paste the whole Debuglog output here - when accessing a page where the "Referer spam" error appeared.
