[Solved] Hotlink Protection Error

[njaohnt]

When I try to make a new hotlink allowed URL, it says "There was an error while enabling hotlink protection. Show Details"

Show Details shows "Error: while opening /.htaccess"

[Byron]

Are you trying to enable hotlink protection on your whole site?

[njaohnt]

Yes.

[Byron]

Can you post for me what's in your root htaccess file?

[njaohnt]

I can't get to it.

I typed in the search on file manager "htaccess" and the first file was /public_html/.htaccess and when I click on that, it shows the public_html file, and I can't find the .htaccess in there.

[Byron]

/public_html/.htaccess is the file I'm referring too. Can you see what's in that file?

[njaohnt]

No, .htaccess is not in my public_html

[Byron]

This link should take you to your .htaccess file. You'll need to login.

Click "Show File" to see what's in it.

RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp|htm|html|css)$ http://jzdb.heliohost.org/hotlinkblock.htm [R,NC]

[Byron]

Looks like your set for hotlink protection, although this line should only be image extensions:

 

RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp|htm|html|css)$

 

Something like:

 

RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$

Thanks!
