I have a directory on my web server that should not be accessible by default, the files in here are being included by php files outside the directory.. so quite simply, I need to protect the directory.
Now I don't want to protect it with a login, that's simply not needed, the directory and all the files in it should simply be inaccessible..
I don't know a whole lot about htaccess though, can anyone here tell me what to put in the .htaccess files to simply deny all access to the directory and if possible display a specific error message.
Apache httpd Users mailing list, but nobody there has responded in several days. I'm using mod_alias to map URLs to directories that are outside of Apache's DocumentRoot. However, it seems that .htaccess files are being ignored in these directories.
I have download manager script that I use for my customers to download products right after the purchase.
Script generates download link that looks like this:
http://www.yourwebsite.com/download/...582921B&p=1840 (where 2YY6582921B is receipt number that is different with each purchase).
All products are placed in one folder. This folder can not be seen in above download url, but can be accessed thru browser and files can be downloaded that way without paying for them.
Can I use .htaccess and if yes how, to protect all product files the way that they can not be accessed directly by visiting url thru browser (in case somebody will find the correct url), they should be allowed for access only for my download manager script.
I have worked with mod_rewrite for years and never encountered this problem. I am converting html pages to a single php file and it works perfectly. I used htaccess the rewrite the urls to appear the same so that no links would be broken or lose SEO value.
The only problem is that my friend who also helped build the sites added different directories and within those directories are index.htm files that serve as a home page for the separate directory. Like /info/index.htm and /help/index.htm within the root directory. The problem is that for some reason my mod_rewrite directs to the main index.htm rewrite even if I include the whole path to the file. In htaccess I have this so far:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule index.htm$ index.php [L] RewriteRule servers.htm$ index.php?action=servers [L] RewriteRule movies.htm$ index.php?action=movies [L] However there is a directory named "info" and inside that directory it has an index.htm file and it seems to conflict with my first mod_rewrite. I tried using:
RewriteRule /info/index.htm$ index.php?action=info [L] and used other methods but none seem to work any ideas?
I couldn't keep my mouth shut (technically fingers). A customer wanted to upgrade servers and he needed a way to move the data across. Since I don't allow hard drives to be swapped, they have to do it manually all by themselves. I generally allow up-to 4 days for them to transfer data and make DNS changes, etc. But this time, I offered help! I agreed to move the data (darn me) and it just came out of me, involuntarily.
God knows what just happened... but in a positive way, customer is extremely happy!
So...
Both servers are on cPanel - with root access (duh)
200 odd files which total to 25 GB
1 database about 100 MB in size (no biggie)
I was planning on using one of my Windows 2003 servers (via remote desktop) to download the 25 GB and upload the 25 GB, but that sounds like a waste of resources and time.
I am using a script, on which i want to enable friendly URL, below are the instructions.
Friendly URLs Settings Apache Settings
(please add the following lines to your .htaccess file to turn on friendly URLs) <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /hcl/friendly_url.php [L] </IfModule>
I have a vds with godaddy. I uploaded my site and then uploaded .htaccess (AddHandler server-parsed .html) Then when I go to my site in browser I get this error.
Safari can’t open the page “mydomain”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
The thing is, I did the exact same thing on another domain with the same htaccess file and everything works fine. SSI is enabled on both.
I'm currently having a problem with a site of mine. The problem is that trying to go to domain.com/subdirectory/ (with or without the trailing slash) gets a 404 error (even though the directory exists).
However, domain.com/subdirectory/file.php works fine.
When trying to figure out what is causing this, I remembered that someone who recently did some work on this site had to add something to the .htaccess file. Here's what they added:
I haven't done much with .htaccess, so I really have little idea what any of the above means or does (although I know it does something important).
So I guess my question is, could this bit of code be causing my problem? And, if so, how can it be corrected without messing up what this code was put there for in the first place?
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^showtopic=([^&]+)&st=0$ RewriteRule ^forum/index.php$ [url] I get a 500 Internal Server Error when I put that in my .htaccess file. Got it from [url]
i have a mobile download site.. now i dont want users to directly download from my site.. i mean hotlinking..
I hav a referal thing in my .htaccess
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^[url](/)?.*$ [NC]
Now there is a flashget like software for mobiles.. i want that my users are able to download using that software but the prob is that soft doesnt sends any referal info.. so in my .htaccess i want to allow that software and i am trying this
For some reason it appends the my_profile.php to the end of the url, and it does it to any file in the same directory and just keeps going around in a loop, why would it do this?
I have just found out my server only supports .htaccess with ISAPI_Rewrite. Not quite sure how to accomplish this as in the past I just used normal .htaccess code. I just want to do a simple redirect so could anyone shed a bit of light on what I now need to pop in the file.
I'm trying to learn htaccess, but I'm having issues wrapping my head around this. I need to learn by example. Have several types of 301 permanent redirects that are needed.
Want to redirect a single page to a new page OLD - [url] NEW - [url]
Want to redirect a folder, AND any pages in it (preferably without naming EACH page), to a new folder's index OLD - [url] NEW - [url]
Want to redirect a subdomain to the primary domain OLD - [url] NEW - [url]
Want to redirect a folder, AND any pages in it, to a new subdomain OLD - [url] NEW - [url]
Using ISAPI_Rewrite 3 on 2003/IIS6, which uses htaccess commands.
Could anybody here show me what they would do in these scenarios?
I've read and read, and tried and tried, but it never seems to work out correctly. It either fails to redirect, or it redirects too much (some "open" type commands with a lot of variables will pick up the keyword -- for example, "students" -- so students.domain.com AND domain.com/students AND domain.com/program/students.html would all redirect, even though I only wanted the subdomain version, or the page version, to redirect, and not the others!).
I know how to do a redirect to a new URL using a .htaccess file if I am pointing to a different server, however both domain.com and domain.com.cn are pointing to the same server, I just am wondering what I would add into my .htaccess file to get it to redirect from domain.com.cn to domain.com?
But the subdomains also seem to be loading rather slow. Am I doing anything wrong here? Is there any way to optimise or simplify this (I have around 11 subdomains on the old domain)?
Now the software i'm using on the /forums/ is different, so i need ALL inbound links to any area of phpBB2 to redirect to /forums/ and be stripped of the "index.php=topic111.22."
All the redirects I have tried seem to leave the rest of the URL on then give a page not found.
