Problems with Hotlinking

Hi.

I have a blog in wordpress with many visits, and many images. This images are being hotlinked by another webs, and this is fatal for my server.

I'm trying to configure in the ISPConfig panel, on "SITES/Configuration/" but the images are still being showed.

How can I do that?

PD: sorry about my poor english.

 

You can do this with .htaccess files.

Example 1 disables hotlinking:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yourdomain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|png)$ - [F]

Example 2 disables hotlinking and shows error message:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yourdomain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|png)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/error_message.png [R,L]

 

Where must I locate this .htaccess ? If I put this on web folder, I get error 500.

All what i've read is that all htaccess sentences must be on ISPCONFIG Panel, on Sites/configuration...

 

I get the error because in ISPConfig, the HTACCESS must be configured on Sites/options...

 

Oh, ok. I'll try. Thanks

 

Thanks, I found an .htaccess file hidden in the Web folder. Now it's OK.
