.htaccess for Rewrite only works one directory. No SUB-Dir?

I have create a RewriteEngine for the .htaccess file. Below is a small portion of it.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^$ [OR]

However, when I place it on one folder and it works only that folder. It ignores the sub ones?

Can you tell me how to configure apache to work on all sub folders? thanks.

The root .htaccess applies to all subdirectories.

A .htaccess file in a subdirectory only applies to that directory, and its children.

If similar but conflicting rules appear in both, the root .htaccess rules will override subdirectories.htaccess commands.

Try this:

http://www.jasontringuyen.com/admin/

Under the above folder /admin. I have .htaccess that prevent people linking:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://68.192.45.3:81/.*$ [NC]

Try to right click and save one of the image file. It will show you a index.html page that that where the RewriteRule is.

However, when you get further down the subs. It doesn't work. Check the link below:

http://www.jasontringuyen.com/admin/congtudeptrai/video/PhuongThanh_LiveShow

all the subs are under /admin and the files in the directory above doesn't get proctected.

Explain this to me.

I had no problem with the orginal apache from Apache.org. This version isn't working. Tell me about it. Thanks.

Yes, it is.

I have no problem with the orginal Apache when I tried to install each package seperately. So what seems to be the problem?
