Apache Server Sides Includes and .htaccess
Notes
1. How to get rid of referral spam with the .htaccess file.
Place the following in your top level .htaccess file and all
requests from urls containing the
terms in the list will be sent to your 403 page.
RewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /SetEnvIfNoCase Referer
".*(lenarcic|casino|more-poker|medportal).*"BadReferrerorder
deny,allowdeny from env=BadReferrer
2. Redirect all of one extension to another extension
All requests to file1.txt are redirected to file1.shtml.
RewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /myDirectoryRewriteRule ^(.*).txt$
$1.shtml [R=301]
3. Redirects with spaces
I had an external web site link to one of my pages, but a space
was accidentally appended
to the link, eg., "Pennies". My
error.log file was filling up with 404 errors. The easy solution
was to do an apache
redirect, but it was a little tricky because of the space. I
tried putting in the "%20" at the
end, but apache liked simple double quotes to define the
trailing space.
Redirect "/Misc/Pennies/ "
http://www.fincher.org/Misc/Pennies
4. Direct proxies to cache images
Put this code in ".htaccess"
### activate mod_expiresExpiresActive On
### Expire .gif's 1 month from when they're
accessed#ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 30 days"ExpiresByType
image/gif "access plus 30 days"ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus
30 days"ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 30 days"
5. How to define a custom error page
Put this code in ".htaccess"
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.htmlErrorDocument 404
/errors/404.html
