Manual installation
To manually install HotlinkBlocker you will need to download distinct installation
package. Run HotlinkBlockerXXXX_manual.exe and unpack it to some
folder. The content of installation package should be as follows:
- HotlinkBlocker.dll – this is a HotlinkBlocker ISAPI
filter itself. You need to add this ISAPI filter to the site you wish to enable
HotlinkBlocker.
- HotlinkBlockerMSG.dll – this is resource library
needed to correctly display Event Log messages.
- HotlinkBlocker.ini – this is a configuration file
template. Put this file into the folder with HotlinkBlocker.dll and edit.
- HotlinkBlocker.chm – this is a HotlinkBlocker documentation.
Please follow these steps to manually install HotlinkBlocker:
- Copy HotlinkBlockerMSG.dll into your SYSTEM32
folder and import HotlinkBlockerMSG.reg into the registry.
This step is not required unless you want to see error message descriptions
in the Event Log.
- Copy HotlinkBlocker.dll into some folder and register it
as ISAPI filter for the site. We suggest you to create a separate instance
of HotlinkBlocker.dll file for each site you are going to enable HotlinkBlocker.
HotlinkBlocker.dll cannot be registered as a global ISAPI filter, only site
level registration supported.
- Copy HotlinkBlocker.ini file into same folder where you have installed HotlinkBlocker.dll
and open it for edit. Configuration file directives explained in a Text
file configuration chapter.
- Put some unique string after the 'Signature='. This string will be used
as a key for MD5 function to sign your URLs. We suggest you to put a new GUID
string there.
- Uncomment or add some lines to [Protect] section of ini file to start protecting
your content.
- If you have Registration name and Registration key put it into the httpd.ini
as well.
