Title: [Invalid]: Hot link
Post by: tommytomato on March 27, 2010, 03:24:25 pm

I've created a hotlink image for people who hotlink images, I've see our images on other sites, checked the link and it refers back to our site.

I used these two sites
http://altlab.com/htaccess_tutorial.html
http://www.htaccesstools.com/hotlink-protection/

Here's my .htacess

Code: [Select]

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?rockinghamgateway.com [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?gallery.rockinghamgateway.com [NC]

RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ http://gallery.rockinghamgateway.com/hotlink.gif [NC,R,L]
when I check to see if I can see the image i'm trying to hotlink, it still shows the gallery image I chose to view and not the hotlink image

http://gallery.rockinghamgateway.com/hotlink.gif

Am I missing the point or some thing in my .htaccess file ?

We provide support for Coppermine. Configuring Apache's mod_rewrite engine (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html) is certainly beyond the scope of this board.
You haven't followed the instructions of the tutorial to a T

Code: [Select]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?rockinghamgateway\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|png)$ http://gallery.rockinghamgateway.com/hotlink.gif [L]should do the trick as far as I can see. If it doesn't, ask your webhost for support - this is not the right place.

Additionally, you already have an open thread (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,64272.0.html) where you discuss exactly the same thing. We're not fond of cross-posting.
