You can do this via .htaccess either by adding the file to each root directory of the site, or adding the code to the specific container in the httpd.conf file.
There are a few different ways to do this.
1. To replace the hotlinked image with a 'nohotlink.jpg' image, put the following into the .htaccess file:
Code:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?mysite\.com/ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /images/nohotlink.jpe [L]
2. To prevent linking from specific outside domains like myspace.com, youtube.com, etc..
Code:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?mysite\.com/ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /images/nohotlink.jpe [L]
To just show a 403 error, replace the last lines in the previous examples with
Code:
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ - [F]
I have a two small shared hosting packages and the price I pay I don't expect to receive very good support. I accept with any shared hosting uptime cannot be guaranteed neither can it be 100% and anyone who suggests otherwise is living a dream. However on the occasions I have opened a ticket they have been answered and investigated promptly. I have been with ayksolutions.com since Jun/18/2008 oh wow where has the time gone!
I very seldom contact support, but if I do, the response is always prompt and issues are always resolved.
