Anti Hotlinking script - help please - GoFuckYourself.com

Does anybody know how to disable the AHL script on a server? I've contacted my host and AHL support so I expect a resolution in the morning but if anybody knows how to do it, I wouldn't mind disabling sooner than later as a temporary solution

Edit the ahl.conf file...it's set to protect certain extension, so just delete all the extensions...that should work

remove the AHL entries from the httpd.conf for the domain

Why do you need to disable it?

yellofello · 03-14-2005, 01:51 AM

this is what's in the ahl.conf file:

########### AHL Configuration File ############

TIMEOUT=3600
LOG_HOTLINKS=0
DENY_FILE_LOCATION=/deny.html
ALLOWED_REFERERS=yourdomain1.com,yourdomain2.com,y ourdomain3.com
PAGE_EXTENTIONS=.html,.htm,.shtml,.php,.cgi
PROTECTED_EXTENTIONS=.asf,.wmv,.avi,.mov,.mpg,.mpe g,.rm

i know that AHL is working on my server, but this can't be the right config file, can it?

where would i be able to find the httpd.conf file?

i want it disabled temporarily to figure out what's slowing my server down to a crawl. it was upgraded to the new version a few days ago and since then _something_ has gone wrong. not sure what exactly, so here goes the process of elimination

locate httpd.conf - to find it

comment out for the virtual host thats protected

RewriteEngine on
RewriteOptions inherit

that should do it

Ah. We had a problem with it slowing the server too but that was with the 1st version.
