Title: cmode, .htaccess, index.html file to block direct access to folder??
Post by: pimpyourpro on March 11, 2006, 12:45:16 PM
How should I go about denying access to a folder but not denying access to the file if they have a direct link to it?

Do you mean that you would like to remove the directory listing (list of files) that appears when someone tries to access a directory?

If it's what you're looking for, then you can:
1 - Disable "Directory Indexes" for all directories in your account using the Scripting Options (http://system.freepgs.com/options.php?sec=scripting) section of your account options.
OR
2 - Put a blank index.htm file in the directory.

chmod has nothing to do with making files available or not.

Technically, it is supposed to trigger a 403 - Forbidden error if there is no index.(htm, html, php) in the directory, but I see your homepage instead. What rewrite rules are you using?

Here's his .htaccess file:

Code Select
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ index.php?page=$1

That's redirecting -everything- under that directory to the index.php file of your main directory.

In fact, it only redirects all requests for files that end in .html to /index.php. However, I think that the ErrorDocument for 403 and 404 were set to error404.html and error403.html in the account options.

It would mean that, when someone requests /assets/, Apache triggers a 403 error and tries to load error403.html. It then finds the rewrite rule and tries to load index.php?page=error403 which doesn't exist.

Simple solution: Change your error403.html file to error403.php and and change the options panel setting..

Edit: You don't seem to have an error403.html file.. You can change the setting back to "Default" and display the FreePgs error or to "error403.php" and create the file to display your own error.

oops. I have a tendency to describe everything with too much technical details.
