looks ok, what is happening?

I remember I was having troubles in my server and I had to edit the apache config file to add symlinks or some thing for the hotlinking to work without giving me errors serving up pages.

This article will explain whats wrong. You have completely ther wrong syntax. :thumbsup

Problem is I was still able to hotlink a image. I used this code on another server and it worked fine.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://greenapple.verisexy.net$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.greenapple.verisexy.net$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://greenapple.verisexy.net/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.greenapple.verisexy.net/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule !.*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|mpg|mpeg)$ - [NC,F]
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.greenapple.verisexy.net/404.html


I tryed that and my bandwidth dropped in half so I quickly pulled it. Either I have a ton of hotlinkers or somethings not working right

My RewriteRule line looks something like that:
RewriteRule !\.(extensions|extensions)$ http://www.address.com/hotlink.htm [NC,R]

Your RewriteRule is a little bit different.
Yours: RewriteRule !.*\.
Mine: RewriteRule !\.(

Maybe that's the problem.

:2 cents:

Thanks, I will give it a try. Nice to see other freehost helping each other out instead of bashing =) That's what I call class!!!

Nice article.. I'll try their 404 suggestion since I've had problems with SE rankings
