[newbie] Apache question, blocking outside links?
Greetings. Please excuse this post, as I was not able to find anything in the faq which mentions script that would either block outside links from one's own server. Take such as a link from an offencive or pornographic website that linked one's web server to its front page. Is there a way to block such a link from say www.pornpictures.com (a bogus address just for example) so that all who clicked on this link from the offencive site would either get an error or be re-directed? Thank you for your time. John. __ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

RE: [newbie] apache question .htaccess file and httpd.conf settings relating to it.
also, do you have the paths to the document root set correctly in httpd.conf? if you are trying to serve pages from the servers root directory, it will give that result... if its not set to serve root... take a look in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf look in the directory listings... ie Directory inside them (particularly your html directory), you should have a line like this: AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit Options That will allow your web server to accept htaccess files... in your .htaccess file, (which goes in the web diectory you want to protect) you should have something like this: Options All AuthType Basic AuthName Protected Access AuthUserFile /var/www/html/somedirectory/somefile.access Limit GET require valid_user /Limit That will do it,,, then to add users you do this: htpasswd somefile.access your_user_name answer the questions it asks...

RE: [newbie] apache question .htaccess file and httpd.conf settings relating to it.
yup, thats fair enough, I use a very custom file name and I don't allow indexing..., so I don't really think I have to much to worry about.. but yes, this is true, the user file really shouldn't be in the html area... rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Michael D.

RE: [newbie] apache question
have you enabled htaccess (override) files? if so, you need to configure the file properly... you seem to have just denied access, it should be asking for a password... if you can't figure it out, I will look up my settings for you tomorrow. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jon Doe Sent: Sunday, 16 September 2001 1:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] apache question Ok, at one time I had apache up and running and serving pages.

* Tom Malone [EMAIL PROTECTED] [010730 06:12]: I am not sure if this question is more appropriate for this list or maybe the PHP list, but I'll post it here just in case - let me know if I am out of line... =) I have Apache installed with mod_php - I am just wondering: Is the standard Apaceh directory structure (i.e.: htdocs, or public_html) automatically created when Apache is installed, or do I have to create it myself? If i have to create it myself, how do I make it the default directory so that when I go to localhost/ in my browser, it will load my index page? Thanks - sorry if this is OT... If you installed Apache when you installed Mandrake 8 (you didn't mention OS distros or versions) it should have created the file index.html in the document root /var/www/html/ You should be able to view this by typing: http://localhost/ into your browser address bar. If not, there are a bunch of things that could be wrong. If you can see the Apache/Mandrake welcome, you can rename that file and create a new index.html and you are off and running with your own Intranet or (if you are set to allow access to the world) Internet website.

[newbie] Apache question?
Basically the problem is whenI go to a subdirectory on my website(through a browser) unless I put a / on the end it will not load and say page cannot be found, how can I fix this?
