Topic: You don't have permission to access /forum/index.php on this server.

[WingZero]

Hello,

When I goto Admin -> SimplePortal -> Blocks -> Add Blocks -> Custom HTML -> Inside the HTML if i post any type of code I get the following error message:

Code: [Select]

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /forum/index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.15 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.15 OpenSSL/0.9.8n DAV/2 mod_fcgid/2.3.5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.website.com Port 80
If I just post TEXT no code, it'll create the block.... Does anyone know how to fix this? This never happend before, all I did today was install two packages Display Signatures Only Once Per Page and Signature Option Post but I uninstalled those. What can I do

forums/index.php is 755 chmod, i didnt change any permissions personally

I tried adding the "img/img]" code, it worked but when i use like <a href="http://www.web.org" target="_blank">

It'll give me that error message.

Paste the exact HTML you're putting in. Does it only happen with particular links?

If it happens with HTML in general... a workaround is to use BBcode instead. Look over your server configuration and make sure everything is writiable and readable.

No, not with particular links I can't use

For an example

Code: [Select]

Site Navigation<br />
<img src="divider.gif" /> <a href="http://www.website.org/forum/index.php">Homepage</a><br />  when I use this, i cant even Add it as a block OR preview it ..the error message will popup 404 etc etc.

but I can use

Code: [Select]

Site Navigation<br />
<img src="divider.gif" />
with no problems

Here is my HTML code:


Here is the error message I get when I press Edit Block and/or Preview (This previously worked before in fact just the other night and still does work I just cant EDIT it anymore because I'll get the error message)


I did not do any major editing to SMF or SimplePortal, I installed 2 compatible simple mods that give the users the option to hide their signatures on the forums when posting + only show 1 signature per user each forum page. I uninstalled both anyway and it's gone so I don't think this is the problem.

I also did some .htaccess editing heres what i have in my /forum/ directory for .htaccess:

Code: [Select]

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ /forum/index.php?action=sitemap;xml
Forum Error Log message when I click Preview/Edit Block:

Code: [Select]

Hm. Do you have the mod_security module enabled?

[WingZero]

Hello,

I found the error. HostGator rolled out new mod_security rules for their hosting. They didn't notify any customers via email, I wasn't the only one to have a problem with the 403 Permission error.

From the host:

Hello,

Yes we recently rolled out an update that included an update to 340163.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

If you have any further questions or issues, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Cheers,

Drove me  nuts thank you for responding and trying to help me though I really appreciated it!
