.htaccess not working correctly.
Help! I can't post the code for some reason, either. *yeargh*
http://www.zerocattle.com/examples/htaccess.txt
Apache 1.3.*
Just want to redirect folks with the wrong http_referer to the main entry point when they try to access a file in a folder.
Help?

try add:
Options +FollowSymlinks
to the top of your htaccess file, not sure of the code bit, maybe try add an extra RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ before the url ones, what I use for redirecting is 301's
ie:
redirect 301 /testview/ h ttp://www.finishsite.net/ (space added to stop it becoming link)

hehe.. You know busy, there is a checkbox that will prevent links as well.

okay, Busy, what does that mean in English? I'm no server gal, so does it mean to follow links from the domain?
I know the other line is if there is no referer, rewrite. if the referer exists and is not those two urls, rewrite.
The Options +FollowSymlinks doesn't seem to work. I tried it with the + and without it.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/en/mod/core.html#options explains it SOME, but I still miss the gist.

I was having probs doing rewrite rules with .htaccess the other day, no matter what i did they wouldnt work (to the point where no pages on the site would work!!), then i moved the rewrite rules to httpd.conf and they worked!

oh boy. I guess I'll have to try that. I fear the httpd.conf, though, especially since this isn't my server. Aiyee.

hmm... I hope it's not this simple, but is:
RewriteEngine On

Sadly, no, but I tried all the options again with the Capitalization Fix.
What is happening is that ANY call to those files is getting bounced to the login, like the referers are not being recognized.

If a user comes from any of the referrers in your .htaccess, do you want them to get redirected or not?
Right now, the user should get redirected only if the refferer does not match any of the three conditions.

If there is no answer on Google, then there is no question.

Man I love you guys.
Of course! I want it to redirect if there is no referer, not if there isn't no referer (doh!) so I needed to unnegate the top line. I think it's working properly now. See the link for the revised version, as I *still* cannot post this code to this forum for inexplicable reasons (hangs the browser).
*smooch* thank you!

Also, for future folks wondering --
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html
EXCELLENT documentation, helpful examples and generally good resource. Coupled with helpful eyeballs, you can't miss. Heh.
