When I put some rewrite rules in srm.conf such as:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^.*domain.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.jpg$ - [F,NC]


Everything works fine, but when I restrict it to a directory, i.e.


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^.*domain.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.jpg$ - [F,NC]



it crashes Apache. The Raq is fine, but the web server doesn't even load.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

Make a .htaccess with

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^.*domain.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.jpg$ - [F,NC]

and put it in /home/sites/home/web/directory
