help with mod_rewrite needed :(
hey guys,i am totally new to this forum, but I hope someone can help me with this problem:
I want to deny access to all pictures (or any other file) which is not being requested from one of my URLs like (www.)abc.com /.de etc etc - only if the people are directly on the site.. apache should deliver them.
i know mod_rewrite is the right tool for this.. and I have it installed/compiled with apache etc etc... BUT i don't know the proper syntax.. i tried a couple howtos.. but none of them worked....
I always could see the pictures if i 'called' them from a remote .html on a different server.i tried something like this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.startupx.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.gif$ - [F]
no chance... didn't work.. i tried a couple others... no worky

does anyone have some experience with this 'situation' and could give me some hints into the right direction?
thanks a lot

cheers,
-joerg
