Hotlinking problem

I copied it from a book how can it still not work

[bubster119]

Well I've bought myself an Apache book, but the first code I try and implement doesn't work- even though I've copied it directly.

I've created a .htaccess file in my image directory with the following syntax:

<FilesMatch "\.(jpg¦jpeg¦gif¦png)$">
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://([^/]*\.)?example.com/" local_referrer=1
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from env=local_referrer
</FilesMatch>

The problem is it blocks the images from everyone, even my own site.

I'm running the script in a subdomain of a .tv site- I don't know if that makes any difference.

Anyone got any ideas.

Thanks alot.

But what are you trying to do?

Hi Quadrille, I'm trying to stop people from hotlinking images from my site.

Nevermind, i went with this instead.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}!^http://(www\.)?yoursite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif¦jpe?g)$ - [NC,F]

Something like

SetEnvIfNoCase Referer !^(www\.)?example\.com local_referrer=1

might have worked.

I also added a \ before .com and removed the trailing / on the URL.
