.htaccess question

[Easton]

this is not my strong point... i have written my file, but dunno where i am supposed to upload it to (ie. directory)

i also heard i have to upload is as binary file or something

here is what i have written so far:

ErrorDocument 302 /girls.htm
ErrorDocument 401 /girls.htm
ErrorDocument 403 /girls.htm
ErrorDocument 404 /girls.htm
ErrorDocument 408 /girls.htm
ErrorDocument 500 /girls.htm
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://slinkylinks.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.slinkylinks.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://216.127.70.136 [NC]
RewriteRule .\. (wav|mp3|mp2|rm|ra|ram|au|aiff|wma|mov|zip|mpg|mpe
g|avi|jpg|gif)$ - [F,


thanks in advance for any help you can offer...

You wanna upload it to your root directory......in ASCII mode

[Pidgin]

The last line with the "RewriteRule" is illegal and incomplete.
Coming to think of it- I don't understand that .htaccess code at all.
What are you trying to do there?

Anyway Easton, what did you do to Slim?

[Easton]

it could very well be that my code is flawed... i know shit about .htaccess

hmmm.... i think i should give up

[Easton]

ok, here is my last attempt... is this any better?

ErrorDocument 302 http://www.slinkylinks.com/girls.htm
ErrorDocument 401 http://www.slinkylinks.com/girls.htm
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.slinkylinks.com/girls.htm
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.slinkylinks.com/girls.htm
ErrorDocument 408 http://www.slinkylinks.com/girls.htm
ErrorDocument 500 http://www.slinkylinks.com/girls.htm
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://slinkylinks.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.slinkylinks.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://216.127.70.136 [NC]
RewriteRule .\.(wav|mp3|mp2|rm|ra|ram|au|aiff|wma|mov|zip|mpg| mpeg|avi|jpg|gif)$ - [F,L]

now where do i upload it to? and does this have to be an html page or a text page? how do i upload in ASCII? man i am so screwed... *sigh*

[Pidgin]

RewriteRule .\.(wav|mp3|mp2|rm|ra|ram|au|aiff|wma|mov|zip|mpg| mpe
g|avi|jpg|gif)$ - [F,L]

and not

RewriteRule .\. (wav|mp3|mp2|rm|ra|ram|au|aiff|wma|mov|zip|mpg|mpe
g|avi|jpg|gif)$ - [F,L]

You had a space between the .\. and the (wav...

If you delete that space you should be ok

You should upload it to where the index page of your site is located.
Also - its not a text file or an html file.
The file MUST be called ".htaccess"
That is a file with NO name and of an extention of "htaccess".
ok?

(to be geekly accurate - this is a hidden [that is that a dot in the beginning of the filename means] file named htaccess
If you have problems uploading it, just upload it with a name of htaccess.txt and rename it to ".htaccess" or remane it to "htaccess" and make it hidden.

Hahaha. Slut!

Most ftp programs will send it as ascii or binary automatically based on the extension. If not there are probably 2 buttons in the program... upload ascii and upload binary.

thank you
