.htaccess Scripts?

[upsTex]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any links or knows of any resources where
I can read up on how to use .htaccess scripts, because I've seen some more
complicated ones that do really cool and powerful stuff, but I can't seem to
find where to read about it.

Thanks for any help in advance!!

.htaccess scripts are essentially like the httpd.conf Apache Config file, but some functions are disabled in them for security purposes.

For example, to prevent directory listings in a directory,

Code: Select all

Options -Indexes

To prevent specific files from being accessed...

Code: Select all

<Files "password.php">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>

...or use wildcards:

Code: Select all

<Files "*.abc">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all

For more information, see the Apache documentation

Thanks! But I'm talking about the more complicated ones, the ones that,
for example, would provide protection against hotlinking, such as this one:

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mysite.com.*$ [NC] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mysite.com.*$ [NC] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mysite.com:80.*$ [NC] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mysite.com:80.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://216.222.134.77.*$ [NC] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://216.222.134.77:80.*$ [NC] 
RewriteRule .*[Jj][Pp][Gg]$|.*[Gg][Ii][Ff]$ http://www.mysite.com/no_hotlinking.php

Does anyone know where to read up on this kind of .htaccess scripting?

See the docs for mod_rewrite.
