Hotlink blocking problem

Replacing pictures on my site as well

[Mad_Max]

I can't figure out what I'm missing, it's probably somehting really small :\

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

What is the question?

Oops, sorry, got ahead of myself.

It's replacing the pictures on my site with the one that is supposed to only be used for external hotlinking.

Mad_Max,

The second RewriteCond line must match your domain name, with and without "www.", i.e.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?fuzzy-blue-widgets\.com/ [NC]

That's the only one that could "fool" the code.

The target address in the RewriteRule need not and should not contain "http://" and [R], unless you are redirecting to a different server. If you don't use [R], then you don't need the last RewriteCond - the one for REQUEST_URI.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?domain\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://216\.239\.(3[2-9]¦[45][0-9]¦6[0-3]).*(www\.)?carbc\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://babel.altavista.com/.*(www\.)?carbc\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://216\.243\.113\.1/cgi/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://search.*\.cometsystems\.com/search.*(www\.)?carbc\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*searchhippo\.com.*(www\.)?carbc\.com [NC]
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !link\.jpg$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif¦jpe?g)$ /link.jpg [NC,L]

And to reiterate the standard warning, "¦" characters must be edited to appear as a solid vertical line, and "!" characters used in patterns must have a preceding space.

HTH,
Jim

I basically copy and pasted what you posted (I did change the ¦ problem), but it didn't seem to work. The pictures were loading fine on my site, but hotlink blocking was no longer working.

I didn't get a chance to test it too much though, apparently somebody has taken time out of their busy day to bring my hosting server to it's knees :(
