Hi, I'm trying to block some spam referers to my site I've found by reading my site's httpd-error.log. This an extract of the log file containing the suspicious sites: [Sat Oct 29 14:32:04 2011] [error] [client 207.46.12.118] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/apache22/data/ceciliastrada/gallery2, referer: http://www.multidicona.com/limpieza.html [Sat Oct 29 14:39:02 2011] [error] [client 95.25.37.64] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/apache22/data/ceciliastrada/gallery2, referer: http://clubmedia-ent.com/film/artist.html [Sat Oct 29 14:39:04 2011] [error] [client 95.28.156.48] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/apache22/data/ceciliastrada/gallery2, referer: http://clubmedia-ent.com/film/news.html [Sat Oct 29 14:59:00 2011] [error] [client 207.46.199.11] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/apache22/data/ceciliastrada/gallery2, referer: http://www.multidicona.com/herryferr.html Knowing this, I found by googling, that I can block referers by adding this to my .htaccess file: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} st\.ac\.th [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} clubmedia-ent\.com [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} multidicona\.com [NC] RewriteRule ^ - [F] After changing it, I did a "apachectl restart". But aparently that didn't fix the issue. Any hint? I'm using Apache 2.2.18 on FreeBSD 8.2 amd64.
