.htaccess redirect file

[sturko]

I am trying to protect my style.css file and have found this method:
http://forum.hostican.com/html-desig...post10421.html

The first problem i encounter is that redirect from style.css to style.php in pligg .htaccess just dont work:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule style.css style.php

Can anybody give me the correct RewriteRule code or can maybe suggest some other way to protect style.css file?

I have even tryed this method but @import command isnt working in pligg (maybe because it imports php, not css):

Thanks!

 RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*.(jpg|jpeg|gif|bmp|swf|tpl|css)$ http://domain.com [R,NC]

Thanks, but i tried this code before,it works if you put it in templates directory, but then even the web page cant access style.css.

That is because i tried this .css to .php approach i mentoned in this thread.
If css is going trough php it deny outside access but allow the pligg script to read it.

Any more suggestions?

 RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*.(jpg|jpeg|gif|bmp|swf|tpl|css)$ http://domain.com [R,NC]

This is quite a common question and would be cool to have some way to protect css.

Let me maybe write the code from link:

in pligg.tpl
first line:

<?php session_start(); $_SESSION['csskey'] = "hello"; ?>

in style.php

<?php session_start(); header("Content-type: text/css"); 
if ($_SESSION["csskey"] != "hello") { die("Protected"); } $_SESSION["csskey"] = "somethingelse"; ?> 
body { background-color: #000; color: #fff; }

......

in .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule style.css style.php

But this dont work in pligg. Why?. maybe path to style.css and style.php is wrong????

You should put that code on root directory of your pligg

I have those code in my htaccess and its working well.

I have tried that codes, and it doesen't work.

You have exact same lines of codes?

I think I've really messed it up - I set method 2 before copying the text that I should paste over the lines in the .htaccess file.

Now I can't log in to the admin area because of a 500 server error!

How can I change the URL method back again so I can log in?
