Hello there,
New the the forums and hoping not only to get some help but to give some help as well. I could really use some input on my htaccess files. Yes, files. Currently running a website out of root while another website is being created in a subfolder. Once the new site is complete the htaccess file on root will point any calls to root to the subfolder thus making the subfolder the root of the server.
I am going to post a message I sent to another person I had the opportunity to talk to. Unfortunately he did not know the best way to go about this from what I have so far. No, I can't move the new website to the root and have just one htaccess file. Well, let me just post the message and hope for the best

I have a question for you. I need help with my htaccess file based on your stop image hotlinking article.
http://www.davidairey.com/stop-image...king-htaccess/
I am going to try and make this short. I have a working webpage at the moment on the root of my server.
http://www.fabian8.com
this is what is in the htaccess file now.
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
order allow,deny
deny from all
once I flip the switch to the new site which is located in the wordpress folder
http://www.fabian8.com/wordpress/
The root folder htaccess file will have this in it:
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}
fabian8.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !wordpress/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ wordpress/$1
and the one inside the wordpress folder will have this in it:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
# END WordPress
I want to add your code to the site. However, with my little bit of knowledge on htaccess file I am sure there is a better way of doing this. Is there any chance I can get you to provide me with a proper htaccess file based on the information above and the best way to do it.

Can someone please help me design a simple yet elegant htaccess file that incorporates the information above and this bit of code:
Here’s how to deter the thieves
You need to add some code into your .htaccess file, which should be in your website’s root directory.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^
http://(.+\.)?mysite\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png|jpg)$ /images/nohotlink.jpe [L]
In my case, I changed the
mysite text above to
davidairey, and you would add your own domain here.
Then I created a custom image titled nohotlink.jpe, and uploaded it to my /image/ folder. Notice the file extension .jpe – this is because .jpeg and .jpg files are now blocked from appearing on third party websites, but this exception allows you to show your custom image.

I want to thank anyone that can help or direct me properly on this. If any more information is required please don't hesitate to ask here, send me a pm or snap your fingers.
Thanks again for any help
Kind regards,
Saxamo
