   Hi..

   So I'm hosting my site with a hosting company, everything works fine. Today I decided to implement the code to prevent hotlinking for images and files (zip,tar).

   As you know you have several accounts under 1 single account with a CPanel host. I want to apply the no hotlinking code to "site 2"

   So the structure is:

   public_html
   public_html/site1
   public_html/site2
   public_html/site3

   There is a .htaccess in all the "site" folders.

   I have the code below..

   RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?my-site\.com/ [NC]
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
   RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /files/hotlink.jpg [L]

   Where do I place it?

   public_html/.htaccess

   or

   public_html/site 2/.htaccess

   When I place it in public_html/site 2/.htaccess I get the "server error 500"

   I place it like below..
   

   RewriteEngine on
   
   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?my-site\.com/ [NC]
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
   RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /files/hotlink.jpg [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   If I put it in the root (public_html) It doesnt work at all.

   Any help at all is appreciated ..
