Is that 5mb imposed by upload_max_filesize? If so, look at the PHP documentation, it can be changed by either the ini OR PHP_INI_PERDIR - so you can get round it using .htaccess (I'm making presumptions on the part of your host here though, they may not allow .htaccess files).

If they do, however, just create a file called '.htaccess' with 'php_value upload_max_filesize <byte value, eg. 100mb =104,857,600>' and you should be able to overide those restrictions.

2Mb isn't a suprise though, that's the default setting...

I would have never thought I'd ask this type of question in front of my radical skiing peers...

I've put a htaccess file on my server...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule [^/]+.(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/accessdenied.gif [R,L]

with my domain URL string added to replace the stock URL.

It still lets me display the image from a browser using the hotlink, which I want to stop. I only want people to hit the image from my URL which has password protected access to those links. If someone were to "find" the link directly they could view the image file. BAD!

This web page talks about it:
thesitewizard.com/archive/bandwidththeft

but the code I used is shown above, it's from the creator of the image asset library that I use.

My questions:

Is that code wack?
Is it the Apache Servers choice to allow htaccess files? config file?
Is it possible to "find" hotlinks on the web to images? Some type of war dialer URL string creator/tester?
Am I paranoid?
Is big Brother watching?

Hey Blurred... please add me to the list for helping out on this project. I can help w/ html, design of pages/images, just putting content up on pages. I would be able to assist w/ maintaining the site if that's something you'd like help with. Just PM or Email me and let me know whatcha need!

1). Never bothered blocking external access to my images. If the area in which the images are stored are already password protected, then the direct link shouldn't work anyway.

This code should work :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://aaa.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.aaa.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|GIF|jpg|JPG|swf|SWF)$ http://www.aaa.com/bad.gif [R]

You can see there are subtle differences, but these are important, I feel.

If you're using IE type this out into a text editor, as sometimes your can get odd gremlins from copy/paste.

2). Yes, your host (If you're not it yourself) can set whether or not to accept .htaccess files, but it's so limiting not to allow them I doubt they'd do that. Even so, an email to tech support can clear that up.

3). I'm sure it is, but it'd be an awfully large job - are your images that precious?

4). No, they're really after you.

5). Yes.

Hope this helps,

.* instead of /* Why?

EDG, you're a life/job saver. Word to your Mama.

Blurred, what hosting company are you using?

Make sure you find out what versions of MySQL you have to, some features of phpNuke dont play nice with MySQL v < 4.0

Don't know, as long as it works eh? (It does work, right?)

[Baconzoo]

It exclude all access to the images even from the right URL. The php call to an image is comming a couple of directories later, http://www.mydomain.com/library/deta...p?image_id=845

That's why I asked about /* = every folder after the astric

[edg]

Hmm... There appear to be 4 variations possible (from what I can find on the net) I suppose just try all?

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

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yourdomain.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://yourdomain.com/bad.jpg [R,NC]

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yourdomain.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://yourdomain.com/bad.jpg [R,NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yourdomain.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://yourdomain.com/bad.jpg [R,NC]

If one of those aren't working, I'm sorry - must be something to do with your server config

Blurred , when is this awesome web site gonna be online.......whats up???

[Trackhead]

Set up the Paypal account. I think maggots would be more than happy to toss a few bucks in the pot for bandwidth.

Like iskibc said, a TR page would be cool. Just think, pages of cool TR's with no political threads anywhere in sight.

Look forward to seeing it.

I'm waiting on a certain unemployed maggot to get off her butt and help me get it done. Hopefully sometime soon.

Right on Blurred! Sounds like a cool site.

For the splitboarders out there…splitboard.com is coming too!

Blurred, I'd set up a way to atleast defray some of the costs. However, I've heard that Paypal is now censoring who can use its platform. i.e., porn sites are being excluded, gambling, and some sites PayPal deems to be hate sites have had priveleges revoked.

me thinks some competition is needed in this segment.
