How-to: use pre hooks to block particular files

[smtalk]

One customer asked how to block xmlrpc and wp-trackback files globally using OpenLiteSpeed:

RewriteRule ^/(xmlrpc|wp-trackback)\.php - [F,L,NC]

I'd suggest adding this code to /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom/cust_openlitespeed.CUSTOM.5.pre and rewriting confs then:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build rewrite_confs

It requires DA 1.58 RC2 or later

Likely, not sure This was a support ticket asking how to add the RewriteRule globally, so, I thought it might be useful to post on the forums about the use of custom pre/post hooks for templates.

Thank you!
