My b2evolution Version:

I am trying to get some thing to work on my site...

I using the b2evo blog site as entry point to my site, but only if you came to my site from some lusers site...

in the root web directory I have an .htaccess file

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://some\.jerksdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ refer.html [NC]

I have to use the above ReWrite rule as if I try to forward direct to the blog I get error 500's or complaints that fireturd detects an error, Konqueror, and others error out, basically a cyclic link...

I do NOT have the sample.htaccess thats provided with b2evo enabled. One I do not care about nice URL's, and a whole host of things.. as google etc. is blocked via robots.txt, I am not interested in google and company finding my site its not really for that purpose...

What I would like to have is something like

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://some\.jerksdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ blog/blogs/blog.php [NC]

This doesn't work, and gives 500 Internal Server errors etc.. I've had to restort to the first code which has a meta-refresh line to forward to the blog, and thus kills the referring info, although if you end up there I really know where you came from any way....but I would really prefer to have it direct over the kludge I had to use via meta-refresh and an intermediary page.

I've tried the ReWrite roll to various things.... like other URL's and its fine, but if I try to forward to the blog direct it bombs out... I've tried every format of line I can think of for the rule /blog/blogs/blog.php , http://www.mydomain.com/blog/blogs/blog.php , http://www.mydomain.com/blog/blogs/, /blog/blogs/, blog/blogs/

No joy.

Any one have any hints ???
