.htaccess help

**Teksonic** · February 19th, 2008, 1:25 PM

Hey guys. I'm looking for a little .htaccess help.

ok I want to make sure that anytime anyone goes to pinnaclewow.com that it redirects to Pinnacle - The Llane Horde Guild so i'm using.

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^pinnaclewow.com [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.pinnaclewow.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Now i also want hotlinking enabled so I'm using

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://pinnaclewow.com/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://pinnaclewow.com$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.pinnaclewow.com/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.pinnaclewow.com$      [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(.*)$ - [F,NC]

There are also 2 files i explicitly do not want anyone to access. So i'm using

<Files "filename here">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

but when i roll that all together in the .htaccess i get 403'd???

I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. could someone take a look and let me know what the file should look like. Thanks a lot.

Hopefully someone can answer this question for you, but until then, here is an alternate solution that you could try and get the same results.

Domain Redirection - In Cpanel you are able to setup a redirection of your domain to another domain.

Hotlink Protection - In Cpanel, you can easily enable hotlink protection and even set some sites/links as exceptions, so they may hotlink/direct link files.

I have tried the cpanel methods, and (i think) because i'm using a customized/edited .htaccess cpanel errors ever time it tries to update it.

as a side note i've also added this, as it looks like some ppl are using the pre NS changed server info to get to the site still.

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sh133.surpasshosting.com [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.pinnaclewow.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Ah, ok. I see now. Aw, sorry I wasn't much help.

As an update I have all the referrals working, and the file lockouts. it seems that the 403 check is thrown only after i add in the hotlinking prevention.
