Hi,

We use syntax :

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

I don't know if it has same results.

Note it make take some days to get out of bots scope.

If you have an Nginx reverse proxy, you may use

Best regards,

My server memory usage is increasing by some web search engine bots by
access of OPAC. I tried put

*robots.txt in *

on /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs

As

*User-agent: **

*Disallow: /*

But still, my server is getting loaded by bots. The apache log file shows
bots names like petalbot, Googlebot, AhrefsBot etc. How can I block all
these bots' access to my OPAC pages?

With Regards

Jithin N
