Preserved Topic: Sig hosting - htaccess file problem (Page 1 of 1)

Okay..
I'm rather uninformed in this portion of the web world..
explaining things on a 1st grade level is needed for me to understand anything coding related...
That said...
here's my problem...
You may be aware of http://formclot.net/sig/ where I have sig hosting for Asylum members.
Now... I've got an htacess file in there that says somethin' like this...

<BLOCKQUOTE><FONT face="Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR><pre>
AddType php-cgi .php

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?ozoneasylum\.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif

here's the php bits too...

<?php



$path = "";

$max_size = 50000;



if (is_uploaded_file($userfile)) {



if ($userfile_size>$max_size) { echo "<p>as noted above, 50k is the file size limit, <br />come back when you've made a sig that fits that parameter</p>\n"; exit; }



if (($userfile_type=="image/gif") &#0124; &#0124; ($userfile_type=="image/pjpeg")) {



if (file_exists($path . $userfile_name)) { echo "<p>sorry, that file name is currently in use, please input another name</p>\n"; exit; }



$res = copy($userfile, $path . $userfile_name);

if (!$res) {



echo "<p>upload failed!</p>\n"; exit; }



else



echo "<p><b>good to go...</b><br /><br />\n";



echo "file URL:<br />http://formclot.net/sig/$userfile_name</p><br />\n";



} else { echo "<p>file type error! this service provides for jpeg and gif only, under 50K</p>\n"; exit; }



}



?>

FAQs n' Bits: Michael

I have a relevant thread here:

http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum12/HTML/001095.html

anyways, this is the code that Pugzly gave there.. I haven't tried it, but here it is... Looks the same except for your addtype line at the beginning.

<BLOCKQUOTE><FONT face="Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR><pre>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?domain.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif

Those are exactly the same, except for the escaped(?) dot com on the one and not the other. that AddType is actually to make the upload script run as Michael and is unrelated to the dumb.gif service.

Surely that slash doesn't make all the difference does it? And the fact that the problem is intermittent as opposed to a constant problem, that's super weird. Some boards that call the images get through, others get served up the dumb.gif?!

As you may have guesseed, I have the same problem and am using the same bit of mod_rewrite/htaccess stuff so I'm interested in the answer to this one as well...

I inserted the "?" and we'll see how that works. Had a run through my logs and didn't find any from today that were not working. It's quite fun visiting the boards where they have an eye shattering apology.gif posted instead of a sig, people hate that =)

what whig? you'v been drinking again ini? tsk tsk
