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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

yeah but that means clicking the 'post reply' button first

Mark Hensler — Wed, 21 May 2003 06:47:22 +0000

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