mod_rewrite not working for vhosts/subdomains

2025-04-18

Hello WHT,

I recently tried to get image hotlinking working (with .htaccess) and in my web root, it works (ex: /home/www/.htaccess) and blocks images. When I try the same exact things in a subdomain/virtual host, it doesn't work (ex: /home/brian/public_html/.htaccess)

Here is the .htaccess in the vhost:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?(brian\.)?ifobos\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ - [F]

And the one in my web root (/home/www) (this one works):

Code:

Redirect permanent /security.png http://www.ifobos.com/gd.php
ErrorDocument 400 /errors/400.php
ErrorDocument 401 /errors/401.php
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.php
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.php
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.php

#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?ifobos\.com/ [NC]
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
#RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ - [F]

httpd.conf (a bit edited and with comments taken out):

Code:

ServerRoot "/usr/local/apache2"
