httpd.conf syntax

Dear list,

I use some rewrite rule in .htaccess to prevent some bots like

`````````
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^WebZIP [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Wget [OR]

a-lot-of

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Whacker [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Widow [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Xaldon
RewriteRule /*$ http://www.yourdomain.com [L,R]
```````````````````````````````

But I like to include these in httpd.conf ( globally) and not in
..htaccess any more. What might be the syntax then to include in httpd.conf ?

thanks

Well, have you tried it ?
What problem do you get when you just do it ?

Yes, I have tried but no success. I have created a file called
blacklist.conf like this

`````````````````
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^ChinaClaw [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Custo [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Wget [OR]

-- other rules------

RewriteRule ^.* - [F,L]
`````````````````````````

Now in httpd.conf I have added the file as

`````````
Include /etc/apache2/blacklist.conf
`````````````````

Restarted the apache and no error message.

BUT wget is successful. It was not successful when the configuration was
in .htaccess.
Have I missed something ?

Thanks

vhosts do not automatically inherit rewrite directives. You may need
either to include this directly into the vhost(s) where you want it to
apply, or put:

RewriteOptions inherit

in each vhost.
