Re: [users@httpd] Redirect users trying to access any page on my site to the homepage

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://192.168.5.230/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index.php
RewriteRule .*    /index.php [R,L]

Thanks a lot

J Ferradeira

Try this then:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://192.168.5.230/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index.php
RewriteRule .*    /index.php

Why not do an internal redirect?

Some UAs like spiders will probably just see your home page on all your

URLs

though.

Still the same problem, it goes to an infinite loop.
I'm getting out of ideas

Hi,

I allways go to an infinite loop with IE and to this message

"exceeded

redirection limit" with Firefox when configuring mod_rewrite to
redirect users trying to direct access any page on my site to the
homepage.

[snip]

/var/www/html/.htaccess :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://192.168.5.230 [NC]
RewriteRule /* http://192.168.5.230 [R,L]

What am I doing wrong?

You're assuming that HTTP_REFERER is being set when the browser follows
the redirect; a quick test will verify that doesn't happen (well, not
with Firefox, anyway). To avoid the loop, you can add the following

line

after the 'RewriteEngine on':

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

This verifies that the referer header is there; if it's not, the
redirect will not be issued at all. Note that this may /not/ be the
ultimate effect you're going for. =)

--n

Well, with "RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$" the loop stops but the base
idea doesn't work, it didn't redirect to home page when I direct access
a page on the site. The .htaccess now is like this :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://192.168.5.230/ [NC]
RewriteRule /* http://192.168.5.230/ [R,L]

Any more suggestions?

Thanks
