Bitrix Error: The Client IP Address Has Changed; Unable to Continue

1 min read
When restoring a Bitrix website from a backup, you may encounter this error:

Error! The client IP address has changed; unable to continue.

This happens because restore.php specifies, for security reasons, the IP address of the host allowed to run the script.

To resolve the error, connect to the server via SSH, locate /home/bitrix/www/restore.php and replace lines 9 and 10 with the following:


define('IP_LIMIT', '#IP_LIMIT_PLACEHOLDER#');
define('INIT_TIMESTAMP', '#INIT_TIMESTAMP#');

Alternatively, you can comment out those lines.
