Print Page - index.php permission error

Title: index.php permission error
Post by: bermudasucks on April 22, 2007, 01:43:37 AM

Hi,

I've got v. 2.3 installed on my 1.1.2 forum but I'm running into a problem creating ads. When I try to create an Adsense or AdBrite ad (Add button on the Add Ad page), I get the following message:

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/1.3.37 Server at www.bermudasucks.com Port 80

I've used the Packages / Options / Make all files writeable; then verified that everything, including /forum/index.php is 777.

The weird thing is, if I edit the Content field to just a test text string (test or <test>), it works ad I can see the 'ad' as expected. If I use only <script> I get the error above.

Thanks,
Will McLay

I found this solution (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=34270.0) on the SMF forum.

Adding the following to .htaccess fixed the error:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
   # Turn off mod_security filtering. SMF is a big boy, it doesn't need its hands held.
   SecFilterEngine Off

   # The below probably isn't needed, but better safe than sorry.
   SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
