msg:1510353 | 11:32 pm on Sep 6, 2003 (gmt 0) | Greetings! I'm trying to send traffic coming in from one site to a specific page that should stop them. Currently, I'm using: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?bad_domain\.com [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!^/simple.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!^/star_logo_185x175.jpg RewriteRule .* /simple.php?sid=noway [F,L] But users get: You don't have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. What am I missing here? the .php and .jpg files DO exist.

What your code is doing is the following: If the visitor is from bad_domain.com and the visitor is not requesting simple.php and not requesting star_logo_185x175.jpg, display the page for a Forbidden document. I'm guessing that what you want is: If the visitor is from bad_domain.com and the visitor requests simple.php, redirect the visitor permanently to simple.php?sid=noway. RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?bad_domain\.com [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /simple.php RewriteRule .* http://www.mydomain.com/simple.php?sid=noway [R=301,L]
Is that more like what you want to do?

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?bad_domain\.com [NC] RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^sid=noway$ RewriteRule !^(simple\.php¦star\_logo\_185x175\.jpg)$ /simple.php?sid=noway [L]
Looks like the problem may have been the [F,L] flag. [L] is redundant when used with [F], and [F] redirects to the 403 error handler. Just use [L] to do a "silent" redirect to the noway page. Posting on this forum modifies the "¦" character. You must replace it with a solid vertical pipe character from your keyboard before using the code. Jim
