Hello,
Both I and my forum members are getting the following intermitttant HTTP 403 errors.
‘You dont have permissions to access /index.php’
I was able reply to a post today but for the most part users werent able to post over the last 24 hours
and this has been happening intermittantly for a month now
It doesnt happen when navigating any other part of the site just when replying to forum posts.
If you have any pointers please
Thanks
I tried updating SP5.5.2 but it aborted due to the same access issue to /index.php
I refreshed the page and it carried on successfully so it must have gotten access to the /index.php the 2nd time around.
a 403 status is the server responding that some action was forbidden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_403)…
the index.php file in the wp root is an integral part of wp processing… you need to check with your host why you are getting a 403 status on it..
it may be happening when posting because of data associated with the POSTed or GET data of the page… sometimes misconfigurations of mod_proxy or overzealous rules for mod_security get in the way… your host should be able to help…
