Need help on adding banners to customer site

Here is what I found somewhere when I was looking for the same thing. Don't remember where though.

 

Go to
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/en/howto/htaccess.html

From there you should be able to find what you need to know.

 

Also, if you chown the file to root and only allow read access, the client will not be able to delete or change it.

 

I just ran a test on this and it worked great. Great tip.

As to why you are getting an internal server error, I am not sure. I used exactly what you put in your message in my .htaccess file.

Do you have open_basedire in effect? If so, you are definately going to have problems doing it this way, but it should not return an internal server error, it should give you php warnings/errors.

 

Oh, wait, did you put PHP: in your .htaccess file? If you did, that is what is causing it to choke. this should be the content of your .htaccess file:

php_value auto_append_file /home/username/public_html/ad.php

AddType application/x-httpd-php htm

AddType application/x-httpd-php html

 

If we are using phpsuexec how would we go about getting this to work? With PHPSUEXEC it just produces an internal server error.

 

If using PHP Suexec, you need to put it in a file called php.ini

 

Is it possible to add code to the .htaccess file so that the .htaccess file can be in the root (public_html) directory but only add to files in subdirectories? Or is there a line of code that can tell it not to touch specific files?

 

Well, This doesnt works for CGI and SHTML, how to make it work for them.. any idea ???

 

It will not work if some smart a** used a php exit() at the end of the file. But I doubt anyone will figure it out....

Good job squirrel.
You never fail to amaze me with how much you know about servers.

 

One note.

The page will display an error msg if the ad.php is not present. Is it possible to suppress the errors?

 

oh yeah to disable deletion of the htaccess file simply do a chattr _i .htaccess

This way it cannot be deleted by anyone including you.
To delete it, do a
chattr -i .htaccess
then delete it normally.

Now anyone knows how to suppress errors for htaccess files?

 

Hi,

Just wondered if anyone is using this with cerberus helpdesk installed on the same domain without any problems? It causes an email error with piped emails to the helpdesk. If they are, would they be kind enough to share the fix?

Thanks

Thanks

This thread was very helpful

 

Use an apache module called mod_layout

tangent.org/index.pl?lastnode_id=478&node_id=362

Good luck!

 

Is there any way to do something similar for pages that already use the php extension?
