Forbidden Errors.

[chodadog]

I've been trying to get this .htaccess script to work...
But no matter what i do (i've tried 8 variations), i get a forbidden error when accessing any file in the folder containing the script. Whether it be, gif, jpg, html, or php.

Rewriteengine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://your_domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.your_domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.trusted.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|GIF|jpg|JPG)$ - [F]

Obviously with all the relevant details for my site instead of what's there...

What's the problem? I can't figure it out

I made sure to upload the .htaccess file in ASCII and all.

does your server have the mod_rewrite module loaded?

[chodadog]

I'm really not sure to be honest.
I assumed it was.. probably quite stupidly ;)

I'll find out later tonight when my host comes online.

sometimes you have to tell a host to enable .htaccess.

[chodadog]

ok, .htaccess is enabled, and the mod_rewrite module is loaded.

Any ideas why that script is not working? I'm completely stumped!

Just some extra notes about the server..
It's using the Ensim WEBppliance 3.0

Not sure if that makes a difference.. any ideas?

Choda,

I have an idea.

Try Capitalizing the "E" in RewriteEngine On. Here is a clip from my .htaccess.


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.domain.com/.*$ [NC]


Good Luck!
