How to use the .htaccess file

The .htaccess file can be used for multiple uses on your server.

404 error handling

" ErrorDocument 404 /no_find.html "

Permament Redirect

The following was added to my .htaccess file and it works - not that I have a page with the name oldpage.html

" Redirect 301 /oldpage.html /index.html "

Banning referrers

The referrer that I would like to ban is Vitaly Popov - this was related to the referrer spam.

" ## SITE REFERRER BANNING
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} semalt.com [NC,OR] "

The above example presumably bans semalt.com
