Title: index.php access probs after upgrade 2.1 & 2.1.1
Post by: dougsbrat on November 30, 2008, 12:49:18 PM
Thanks for a great addition to SMF  :D

was working fine with SP2.0.5

after uninstall 2.0.5 and install 2.1, I noticed when I go to "general settings" and save I get...

"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /smf/index.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

I see that you have a new version..
I upgraded to 2.1.1 but the problem is still there  :(

I checked by chmod for the file and it looks like they are all "read only"
but changing them did not help.

I even have the whole setup on another server with the same results.  :(

any ideas or help would be great

Does this issue happens after installing SimplePortal? Have you tried installing another mod? Does removing SimplePortal solves problem?

when I installed v2.0.5 it was fine, no mods after that

uninstalled v2.0.5 to install v2.1 and I did not notice this until after I upgraded to v2.1.1
and was going to change a setting on the "general settings" which I had made changes via V2.0.5.

so I'm thinking it is:
a bug
file issue
or server setting

but cant pin it down, or repair it.
it is not critical since "general settings" is the only place I have seen it.

as a test could I uninstall v2.1.1 and install v2.0.5,
and see if the prolem goes away?

if that goes ok
install v2.11 and see if the problem is there again?

Try installing another mod which modifies index.php and see if it does the same.

I've never seen/heard this issue before. Most probably a server related problem.

after a couple of emails to the server explaining the problem...
I found it to be working now, I assume it was a server issue that resolved its self.

thanks for the help
