Hi!
I just started learning about the .htaccess file and I didn't menage to understand alot. I have been trying to find the solution to my problem for a while now but with no luck. I'm sorry if this is a re-post!

there is a link to my site on site www.example1.co.uk, and I would like to block people comming form that site.

I did that by putting this in .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www.example1.co.uk/
RewriteRule /* [mysite.com...] [R,L]

and this was working fine...
now they they have a redirect to a subdomain [bad.example1.co.yu...] and from that subdomain a redirect to my site.

I edited the file to look like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www.example1.co.uk/
RewriteRule /* [mysite.com...] [R,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://bad.example1.co.uk/
RewriteRule /* [mysite.com...] [R,L]

and that was working fine

I have no idea what they have done, but now when I go directly to that subdomain I'm automaticly redirected to my site.
maybee they are using some java script?
How can I block access to my site from the subdomain?

Please halp!
thanks
Rastko

I just found out that the site is using a java script that looks like this:
<script language="javascript">
location.href="http://www.mysite.com/index.php";
</script>

Does anyone know how I can block this form opening my site?

Thanks!

PS any information how to start mastering .htaccess would be very much apriciated. for example what does [R,L] mean, or [R=301,L], and things like that. As I said, I'm a beginner at this, and I would like to learn more. The official apache documentation is kinda confusing for me :) any alternatives?

I'm sorry for the previous post - it's not a java script, it's
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://www.mysite.com/index.php">

I have read a lot ot topics here, but just couldn't find anything that works for me. I just have no idea how to block that

any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello,

Have you tried adding this to your .htaccess file.

<Limit GET HEAD POST>
order allow,deny
deny from .example1.co.uk
allow from all
</LIMIT>

Hi
I have tried with <Limit GET HEAD POST> </LIMIT> and it didn't work.

The source of the web page looks like this:

<html>
<head>
<title>proba</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://www.mysite/index.php">
</head>
<body>
</body> 
</html>

So it's just a blak page that automaticly redirect's to my web page.
I have been reading this topic: A Close to perfect .htaccess ban list - Part 2 [webmasterworld.com], found many great things there and tried out many potential solutions for my problem - but nothing works :(

Any ideas?

Hi,

I have stickied you a link to a page with the info on, as we are not allowed url's here.

Hey Claus (wherever you are), isnt this an attempt at Googlejacking?

There's no way to be sure that an access is the result of a redirect on another site, and therefore no way to block such accesses. :(
