It took me more than a few tries for me to get mine to work, but sites like this were invaluable. They step you through what to do, and allow you to test -- make sure you use a new image link for each test, or clear your cache inbetween tries.

What are your symptoms?

I created a .htaccess file, uploaded it to my server, and...nothing happened.

How did you test?

Try that page I linked to, after clearing your cache.

I did. Nothing.

I checked my provider, and it gives me the same code, so there's no reason for it to not work. Hm. I'm sure it's something ridiculous.

Give me an image URL.

Most frequently stolen.

The .htaccess file is in /graphics/revue/auction/? And you're using the exact text I suggested? If not, can you post it?

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*.)?emahollywood.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteRule .*.(jpg|jpeg|gif)$ [link] [R,NC]

I put it both in that folder and in my main folder. It thought it was supposed to work in all sub folders, but when I didn't I uploaded to the auction folder, too.

Okay, I'm way too tired to be sensible right now, so I'll look at it again in the morning, if that's okay.

Also, the way I troubleshot mine was to take out the line that allowed that site to see its own images, and see if it really broke it hard. That is the RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*.)?emahollywood.com/.*$ [NC] line.

Tomorrow!
