Make sure the CHMOD is set correctly on: 1) The executing script 2) The folder where the script upload the file to.

Thanks for your comments, and welcome to the family!

Well, I've recently researched a certain subject: whether or not to turn off your computer when not in use or leave it on. I've posted about it here. Go read about it. There are a few linked articles in there to assist your reading. You'll find that I lost my C:\ drive's file system because of trying to find an auto-shutdown program for WinAmp. Anyway, after resaerching it all, I think I'm leaving my computer on all the time but will have the monitor shut off...

I've got FireFox at least for website testing purposes.

That's awesome... Maybe I should get you to make me a darq-themed case, hehe...

Technically, the referrer to a website is the last one visited. So if one person visits Site A 30 times in a month and then immediately visits Site B each time afterwards, there will be 30 registered times that Site A referred to Site B. This can obviously be misleading.

The world may never know.. I imagine they probably needed to dry them or something... Once my wallet got submerged and I used a hair dryer to get my monies all fixed.

Dotster, but I plan on switching them all over to TCH soon.

Yay! Certainly looking forward to the upcoming year! [drools thinking of the new reseller plans]

Well, from my family's extensive CD collection, I use CDex to rip them down into an MP3 form. It is a nice open-source freeware program. For organization... I just have one master folder called MP3 under My Music. However, I do have two subfolders: One for my own music, and one for my friends'. My filenaming convention is the standard "Artist - Song Title." My ID3 tags do not contain any other information other than the Artist and Song Title, aside form my own and my friends' music. I use WinAmp 5 for all my music needs, but the DJ has to have Musicmatch to transfer them over... So whenever I rip a new song, I just transfer it over after it's done. As far as capacity, I have about 825 songs on the DJ and it's only.. 1/4 filled.

Heyy, welcome to the moderating family, new Mike! The Roberts will always have the edge.

Yes. Good idea... write one up. I think the new singular rule is working. if it doesn't at any point, I'll keep you posted.

That's about what I was thinking... I'll try it out.

For now I've disabled the protection on my website until we get this figured out.

We seem to be on the same track here.. Checking that guide page you gave me.

Aha. I think I know why... The conditions are right before text.jpg. There are no conditions after text.jpg before the next rule...

I posted my rewrite coding above... Not a single image defined in the Rules, save for text.jpg, is loading on my site...

Well, it's not working as I expected... Here is my stuff: >RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://omgn.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://omgn.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.omgn.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.omgn.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^/*images/+text\.jpg$ http://www.omgn.com/images/undef.gif [R,NC] RewriteRule ^/*images/+title\.jpg$ http://www.omgn.com/images/undef.gif [R,NC] RewriteRule ^/*images/+title_alternate\.jpg$ http://www.omgn.com/images/undef.gif [R,NC] RewriteRule ^/*images/+advertisements/+omgnbox\.jpg$ http://www.omgn.com/images/undef.gif [R,NC] RewriteRule ^/*images/+advertisements/+omgnbrick\.jpg$ http://www.omgn.com/images/undef.gif [R,NC] RewriteRule ^/*images/+advertisements/+omgnbanner\.jpg$ http://www.omgn.com/images/undef.gif [R,NC] RewriteRule ^/*images/+advertisements/+omgntower\.jpg$ http://www.omgn.com/images/undef.gif [R,NC] RewriteRule ^/*images/+web/+88x30\.jpg$ http://www.omgn.com/images/undef.gif [R,NC] RewriteRule ^/*images/+web/+88x31\.jpg$ http://www.omgn.com/images/undef.gif [R,NC] RewriteRule ^/*images/+web/+100x60\.jpg$ http://www.omgn.com/images/undef.gif [R,NC] RewriteRule ^/*images/+web/+468x60\.jpg$ http://www.omgn.com/images/undef.gif [R,NC] RewriteRule ^/*images/+web/+125x600\.jpg$ http://www.omgn.com/images/undef.gif [R,NC] For some reason, title.jpg and advertisements/omgnbrick.jpg are Hotlink Disabled on my own website, but text.jpg isn't.

lol... Congrats on the birthday! Good to see you locked up for another year, hehe.

Yeah, I gathered the ! was for NOT... Well, by the image in my previous post, the rewriting is working correctly. Thanks a bunch, I owe you. We're looking into adding this information as a new help page to TCH's Help section for others that may need it, since I am not the only one who has asked these questions.

Ahh, you added a legend. Good stuff, this is starting to work for me. Hopefully this will be helpful to others here in TCH. {Edit} I finally understand all of this. Maybe I should have actually read that article you gave me, but I see how things are working now, using the regular expressions... Thanks. {Edit #2} Added in an image to this post for testing purposes:

Congratulations! I had a good friend named Nathan, so that's on the right route already! Hehe...

Well... here's the problem. my images/ folder has about 10 subfolders in it. You can see the directorial problem. Thanks BG, I'll take a look at that this morning and see what I can get working... Will separating the filenames onto a newline so they don't get so long on a single line cause problems? Also... Could I have more than one line for rewrite rule for easier organization? How do I add a directory to a rewrite rule? For instance... Say I've got 2 files. images/this.jpg and images/other/this.jpg I only want to protect one of them.. I need to explicitly state the directory for the one I want to protect...

Happy that you're impressed! Good luck whatever route you decide to go!

I'll probably need to include each file by name, but that's no problem. I don't mind... I'm not in a particularly read-y mood tonight. Can you give me a sample snippet that I can mold into my own uses? I've just worked on my website so much today that I really don't have the energy to research mod_rewrite...
