Hello!

I haven't used cpanel in awhile (my host had a custom control panel), but have just changed hosts and am now back to it.

Problem so far is with hotlink protection. I tried enabling the option within cpanel and I've tried inputting several options directly into htaccess (which is how I did it before). But so far no luck. I seem to recall having this problem last time I used cpanel too, but I don't think I knew much about htaccess then, so I'm not sure if it is related or not.

I've tried so far:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?equinessence.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?equinessence.net(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://www.equinessence.com [R,NC]



Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?equinessence.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?equinessence.net(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://www.equinessence.com [R,NC]

RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://www.equinessence.com [R,NC]


The host is using Linux Red Hat 9.0 if that makes a difference. And I am putting .htaccess in the right folder, so that's not the issue.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
