.htaccess

[brentg]

Hi

Is there any code i can insert into .htaccess so that i can put a small logo on all my pages instead of doing it manually on every page. Coding Talk has the small green ball.

Thanks

Its called a favicon. download a favicon, then upload it in your web root (usually public_html, wwwroot) and it will appear like the green globe on every page.

Thought i will post a few .htaccess codes.

1)You have just finished a major overhaul on your site, which unfortunately meant you have renamed many pages that have already been indexed by search engines, and quite possibly linked to or bookmarked by users. You could use a redirect meta tag in the head of the old pages to bring users to the new ones, but some search engines may not follow the redirect and others frown upon it.

.htaccess leaps to the rescue!

Enter this line in your .htaccess file:

Redirect permanent /oldfile.html http://www.domain.com/filename.html 

2)Require the www

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/robots\.txt$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L] 

3)Redirect everyone to different site except 1 IP address (useful for web-development)

ErrorDocument 403 http://www.someothersite.com
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 24.33.65.6 

4)Force Files to download, not be displayed in browser

AddType application/octet-stream .avi 
AddType application/octet-stream .mpg 

5)Prevent Files image/file hotlinking and bandwidth stealing

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?askapache.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|swf|flv|png)$ http://www.askapache.com/feed.gif [R=302,L]

block access to files during certain hours of the day

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

I Have not tested these so if they dont work let me know

favicon.ico will not show on wml unless you use favicon code but it also invalidates your wml and some people will not be able to view that page. so its best not to

[something else]

favicon will not work on valid wml
It is possible to get it working but it will create errors on some browsers.

i also got that prob. however, theyve told me bout htaccess code, resulting to 403/4/1 error. it'll disable for files to be listed. but my prob was , i myself cant download the file, also 403 or forbidden error. lol, even i put "allow from localhost" it doesnt work.

Options All -Indexes

or

<Files>
 order allow,deny
 deny from all
</Files>

If u think on some image folder, put the index.php page with

<?php
header("Location: ../"); exit();
?>
