This was done for one of our customers who used lighttpd to stream their videos. The problem was other users were directly downloading the content from the website, which is essentially considered leeching/hotlinking and in turn using up our client's bandwidth. To prevent this, we followed these steps:
1. Find the access IP that shows up in your lighttpd access_log (typically in /var/log/lighttpd). The IP will most likely be the main IP of your server/VPS.
2. With that IP, add the following code to your lighttpd.conf file:
Code:
$HTTP["remoteip"] == "1.1.1.1" {
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/videoimagefolder/" {
url.access-deny = ( ".flv, .jpg, .gif" )
}
}
Replace the IP with the IP you find your logs, the folder with the folder where your videos, images or whatever the content may be are located. Lastly, put in the extension of the files you'd like to prevent access to. So, if you only have flv files, just put ".flv" in there.
That should do it!
My first experience with VPS and I din't really know what to do or what to expect. AykSolutions.com team help me and during the entire process, they are patient and problem solving peoples. Cheers,
Great servers, Great Service, Awesome uptime! Our company has been working with AYKSolutions for almost 3 years, hosting several servers for mission-critical projects. The network downtime has been way lower than 30 minutes for OVER 3 years and.. one of our Linux servers scored 450 days of uptime! Needless to say, their Ticket Support always responds in a matter of minutes. At any time of the d ay! I would rate them 10/5 if I could! Kudos to a great company! :)
I had never heard of AYK Solutions before, but they had an awesome deal I couldn't pass up on WHT. So far the service has been exceptional, and the server is rock solid. I'll be moving my other servers here soon!
