hi Dave.
I know there are such hosting services
I meant you have to set .htaccess for denying direct access with such hosts.
- Make a subcategory with anonymous name (eg. /foobar/) under XOOPS_ROOT_PATH
- Define XOOPS_TRUST_PATH just under XOOPS_ROOT_PATH in mainfile.php
define('XOOPS_TRUST_PATH',XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/foobar');
- Make a file XOOPS_ROOT_PATH/foobar/.htaccess
