I tried doing it as suggested in your initial thread and got a 500 error.

Then as suggested in another post edited these lines in the .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*)\.htm [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*)\.html [NC]

And this resolved the 500 error issue, but the ads still werent showing...

Perhaps its because Im using shtml files.

It's possible... if you have access, check your error log for apache on the server.

If you contact me privately for support, I'll direct you to the correct support forum. Save time and go there first.

Can you check the error log through Cpanel?

This is what worked for me. Have to do some more testing though.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /passthru.php?file=index.htm
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).htm$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).html$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /passthru.php?file=$1
</IfModule>

Note the $ sign after html and htm. Also had to add a special case for the home page.

Thanks for this one - it gave me some hope

Unfortunately it only works on the index page with a "placed" code on the page, even with or without the special case for the index page.

It appears not to be picking up the passthru file.

However at least it is not the dteaded 500

Oh, here's the instructions I got...

1. Place this code in your .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).htm [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).html [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /passthru.php?file=$1
</IfModule>

2. Create a new file in the root folder titled "passthru.php" and insert this code:

<?php

if (!function_exists('file_get_contents')) {
function file_get_contents($url) {
$handle = fopen($url, 'r');
$string = fread($handle, 4096000);
fclose($handle);
return $string;
}
}

include ('ad_network.php');
echo preg_replace ("/<\/body>/i", $ad_network[0] . '</body>', file_get_contents(str_replace ('../', '', $_REQUEST['file'])));

?>

3. Create a new file in the root folder titled "ad_network.php" and insert this code:
<?php

if (!function_exists('file_get_contents')) {
function file_get_contents($url) {
$handle = fopen($url, 'r');
$string = fread($handle, 4096000);
fclose($handle);
return $string;
}
}

if (!function_exists('make_seed')) {
function make_seed() {
list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());
return (float) $sec + ((float) $usec * 100000);
}
srand (make_seed());
}

if (!isset($_SERVER)) $_SERVER = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;

$ad_file = 'ad_network_ads.txt';
for ($i = 0; $i <= 11; $i++) {
$p = substr ('../../../../../../../../../../', 0, $i * 3);
if (file_exists ($p . $ad_file)) {
$ad_file = $p . $ad_file;
break;
}
}

if (is_writable ($ad_file)) {
$ads = file_get_contents ($ad_file);
$ads = explode ('<ad_break>', $ads);

if (count ($ads) < 401 || $ads[0] + 900 < time()) {
$new_ad = file_get_contents ('http://ads.digitalpoint.com/network.php?s=' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '&type=link');
$ads[] = $new_ad;
$ads[0] = time();
if (count ($ads) > 401) unset ($ads[1]);
if ($new_ad) {
$file = fopen($ad_file, 'w');
fwrite ($file, implode ('<ad_break>', $ads));
fclose ($file);
}
$ad = end ($ads);
} else {
$ad = $ads[rand(1,count($ads) - 1)];
}
$ad_network[] = $ad;
while (count ($ad_network) < 5) {
$ad_network[] = $ads[rand(1,count($ads) - 1)];
}
} else {
$ad_network[] = 'You must set the "ad_network_ads.txt" file to be writable.';
}
if (substr (@$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_NAME'], -6) == '.shtml') {
ini_set ('zlib.output_compression', 0);
echo end ($ad_network);
}

?>

4. Create a new file in the root folder titled "ad_network_ads.txt" and leave it empty. Also change the file permissions to 777.

I hate asking stupid questions, but I am having trouble. I generally have a fair understanding of basic programming but I am stuck.

I have followed the instructions which were very basic thank you Shaun. However, as soon asI add that snippet of code to the .htaccess file It comes up with an internal server error. I know its that because I have eliminated everything else. But as soon as I put that code in teh htaccess file. Bang no website anymore... Can anyone help?

Has anyone here that uses subdomains have any redirecting problems after installing the script? I came to find out, by messing around with the htaccess file that the rewrite rule hampers with the subdomain redirect. As soon as I remove it my subdomains work fine.
Example subdomain.Domain.com now works
With the below Rewrite Condition I can only access these file by typing in the Domain/Folder. Any help would be appreciated.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*)\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /passthru.php?file=$1
</IfModule>

I was futzing around trying to get it working on a site that was giving me tons of trouble.

The problem? The idiot that wrote the page I was testing on (me) forgot the </body></html> tags...so when the script looks for </body> it doesn't find anything.

Thus, check to make sure the HTML is okay...like making sure the PC is plugged in before calling the repair tech.
