.htaccess Issue

[dtm.exe]

I have placed my .htaccess file with the following code in the root directory of my forums.  I've even tried restarting, but I still can't get hotlinking disabled...

Code Select Expand

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?oi-forums.com(/)?.*$     [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp|png)$ http://img29.echo.cx/img29/9256/hl9se6vk.gif [R,NC]

What am I doing wrong?

Try pressing Ctrl-F5.  You may have the hotlinked graphics cached.

You'll have to upload the no hotlinking image to your forums. The problem you were probably having was that the re-direction "ho hotlinking" image is blocked and so this won't work. Also the re-direction image can't be the same as one of the file-types (.gif is blocked, hence "hl9se6vk.gif" won't work")

So to fix the error: Upload the no-hotlinking image to your forums, and also instead of making it .gif, make it ".jpe".

.htaccess

Code Select Expand

Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?oi-forums.com(/.*)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|GIF|JPG|php)$ http://oi-forums.com/hl9se6vk.gif [R,L]
</IfModule>

also important

in httpd.conf you need

Code Select Expand

<Directory path_to_the_protectet_dir>
AllowOverride Options FileInfo
</Directory>

this should work
