Loop Stopping Code
Sometimes your rewrites cause infinite loops, stop it with one of these rewrite code snippets.


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(stats/|missing\.html|failed_auth\.html|error/).* [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule .* - [L]


Fix for infinite loops

An error message related to this isRequest exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.or you may seeRequest exceeded the limit,probable configuration error,Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace, orUse 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary

Stop browser prefetching

SetEnvIfNoCase X-moz prefetch no_access=yes
# block pre-fetch requests with X-moz headers
RewriteCond %{ENV:no_access} yes
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]
This module uses a rule-based rewriting engine (based on a regular-expression parser) to rewrite requested URLs on the fly. It supports an unlimited number of rules and an unlimited number of attached rule conditions for each rule, to provide a really flexible and powerful URL manipulation mechanism. The URL manipulations can depend on various tests, of server variables, environment variables, HTTP headers, or time stamps. Even external database lookups in various formats can be used to achieve highly granular URL matching.

This module operates on the full URLs (including the path-info part) both in per-server context (httpd.conf) and per-directory context (.htaccess) and can generate query-string parts on result. The rewritten result can lead to internal sub-processing, external request redirection or even to an internal proxy throughput.

you need to exlain what you are tring to do

what steps are you taking to add site to partner sape.ru

[leodestroy]

I add my site to sape.ru. But it scans only the pages of forums and blogs. CMS does not recognize. It seems to me that problem in redirect

fist thing you need to check in your .htaccess file is the following


Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On


this should only appear once

this should be below


rewritecond %{http_host} ^sape.ru [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.sape.ru/$1 [r=301,nc]


end result should be


Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

rewritecond %{http_host} ^sape.ru [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.sape.ru/$1 [r=301,nc]



i hope this helps

[leodestroy]

simonhind, sape.ru is not my domain name. This is partner program for web master. Its robots crawl only forum and blogs. A CMS is passed

[darren1981]

this sounds like a problem on sape.ru maybe their bot is programed for only blogs and forums

[abdobasha2004]

thanks a lot
really useful

[as7apcool]

thianks 4 good work

Replace:

With:
Your Domain Name
Hi.

Question!

Sorry for my ignorance, but when you say to replace http://(www\.)?askapache.com/ with my URL, does that mean http://(www\.)?myurlhere.com/ or http://myurlhere.com/ In other words, I would like to add my URL without the "www.", but I do not know if I should remove the "(www\.)?"

[TheSupportForum]

replace
http://(www\.)?askapache.com/ (http://%28www%5c.%29/?askapache.com/)
with for example

http://(www\.)?me.com/ (http://%28www%5c.%29/?askapache.com/)
http://(www\.)?website.com/ (http://%28www%5c.%29/?askapache.com/)

etc....

hope this makes it easier

[GONUMBER6]

Hi, I am trying to block the 100+ Baiduspiders that are crawling my site all the time. All I need to do is copy/paste the bottom box to my .htaccess file? Where do I add that code? At the bottom of my existing file?

[final kaoss]

anywhere in the .htaccess file

[GONUMBER6]

I found two different .htaccess files in my server. Where exactly should this file be located? In my forum root or home root, or elsewhere? I put the bottom box code in both but I still have the spiders all over in my forum. Do I need to add more than just the bottom box? Thanks :)

[Boofo]

I'm not understanding what this part of the hotlinking code is for:
/feed/ [R=302,L]

I know the L means to stop running this (LAST) but why the 302 redirect? And what is the /feed/ for?

[Gn_Snake]

This also works with vBSEO installed?
