Fedora Core 1 webserver question

[fogleroller]

How do I allow access to a page, on my site, only when it is linked from a certain domain/website?

for instance:

I have the specs to a race car listed on a website, but I only want people on a certain car web forum to view it. I only want it to be viewable if linked from that domain.

any help is appreciated.

(web server is Fedora core 1)

FC1? 😕

If you're going for stability, Fedora might not be the best choice. Why else would you not upgrade?

 

[fogleroller]

what do you recommend? I had FC1 running for about 1 year now. I havent touched a linux box in a long time.

Well, Fedora's on 4 already.

You know what: never mind. If it's running fine for you, that's what matters.

Look up the documentation for .htaccess

I should download it just in case.

i will look up .htaccess documentation

you could make it a perl CGI, and use the REFERRER tag. "if $REFERRER=http://allowed.com" print the html for the page "else" kick them off, post a "please look at our forums" or something like that.
