RE: [cobalt-users] mod rewrite

["Ali & Charlie" <dynamicduo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff,

Please note as Will had pointed out that this will only work on your RaQ2
and RaQ3 as the RaQ1 does not have mod_rewrite.

Edit your httpd.conf file and add the following within the <VirtualHost> for
the domain in question, replacing 'domain' with the domain name and edit the
'.com' as well if it is necessary:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*domain\.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.gif$        -                                    [F]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*domain\.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.jpg$        -                                    [F]

Then restart httpd for these changes to take effect:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd.init restart

This will prevent people from directly linking to both .jpg & .gif images
within this site.

Best Wishes,
Charlie
