Hi everyone!

I'm trying to solve a problem for few days with my htaccess script. I've been trying to install my script in my directory but always have a 500 internal error code when I do so. Could someone tell me if my script is OK! or what wrong with it and why I still always getting a 500 code error? Thanks in advance!

Have you checked the error logs yet? One way to troubleshoot larger files such as this is to comment out everything then start uncommenting one-by-one until you hit the problem child.

I see a few things, some of which may have been caused by the forum software.

  1. Must be a space between bracket( } ) and exclamation(! ). Most likely this forum script causing that.
  2. All pipes ( ¦ ) must be solid. Forum causes that as well. But just in case...
  3. A </pre> HTML tag at the very end. A typo maybe?

Also, why are you only banning those scrapers from images? I'd TOTALLY ban them.

RewriteRule ^$ - [F,L]

You could also greatly reduce the lines in that file by combining conditionals.

Example:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Web(\ Image\¦\ Sucker¦Auto¦Copier¦Fetch¦Reaper¦Sauger¦site\ eXtractor¦Stripper¦Whacker¦ZIP) [OR]

Instead of...

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Web\ Image\ Collector [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Web\ Sucker [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} WebAuto [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} WebCopier [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} WebFetch [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} WebReaper [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} WebSauger [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Website\ eXtractor [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} WebStripper [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} WebWhacker [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} WebZIP [OR]

Thanks, Birdman and coosper

I'll try what you told me and let you konw if something goes wrong!

I'll thake out the </pre> and the image line then try to add one by one the line and see what happen. Many thanks and come back soon!

Thanks Guys
Its working great now - the host had not enabled .htaccess - the code was actually fine.

But now, I want to add lines that will prevent to view the .htaccess like this lines
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
How I introduce this code in my script?
Second, I want to ban a complete whois address of a server. Here are the address 64.***.0.0 - 64.***.255.255? Can I add a line to that will ban the complete address are do I have to write them one by one?
Thanks for all!

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
How I introduce this code in my script?

Put it at the top or the bottom. It doesn't matter, because each Apache module will look in your .htaccess for the directives that it handles, and the order that those modules run is set by the server.

Second, I want to ban a complete whois address of a server. Here are the address 64.124.0.0 - 64.125.255.255? Can I add a line to that will ban the complete address are do I have to write them one by one?

Simply add 


RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^68\.12[45]\. [OR]

to your list. The omitted numbers on the end mean the pattern will match anything that starts with the specified pattern. The numbers enclosed in square brackets are "alternates" and either will be accepted.

Thanks JpMorgan for your speedy reply

But if I understand well the [45] will block all the address form 68.124.000 to 68.125.999.999 but if I want to start to 68.124.000 and stop to 68.125.255.255. how could I write it down in my code?
