Do you have a custom .htaccess file in your test directory and are the file permissions correct? 

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your help. Permission is 644 and content is this (has htaccess user)

#<ipb-protection>
<Files ~ "^.*\.(php|cgi|pl|php3|php4|php5|php6|phtml|shtml|([a-z0-9]{32}))$">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</Files>
#</ipb-protection>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /forum/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\..+$
RewriteRule . /test/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
AuthName "test board"
AuthUserFile "/home/media/.htpasswds/public_html/test/passwd"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user

 

Ok I know what cause this problem:

When I remove this part

#<ipb-protection>
<Files ~ "^.*\.(php|cgi|pl|php3|php4|php5|php6|phtml|shtml|([a-z0-9]{32}))$">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</Files>
#</ipb-protection>

from my .htaccess file everything works just fine...

If I keep above code in my .htaccess file, my server is throwing below lines on my serverside error log

[Tue Sep 20 19:43:04.318606 2016] [access_compat:error] [pid 13006] AH01797: client denied by server configuration: /home/media/public_html/test/index.php5

You are mixing the new auth config and the old one.

OLD RULE:

    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all

 

NEW RULE:

Require all denied 

 

So replace the two lines above with the new rule and try it

I have many years to use Apache and maybe my recommendation will not perfect for you....

But it is easy to check and nothing will break

@Daniel F any thoughts or should I go with @ASTRAPI solution (haven't tried it yet)?

Just check my solution and if doesn't work revert it

It is a simple edit that easily can revert ....

Only replaced that line with other 2 lines

I got same problem

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /test/admin/ on this server.

My fix was for :

[access_compat:error] [pid 13006] AH01797: client denied by server configuration:

so it seems that it works

For the Forbidden error it looks like an .htaccess issue....

Ok found it

I just re read your posts

You are using this htaccess on your /test folder:

#<ipb-protection>
<Files ~ "^.*\.(php|cgi|pl|php3|php4|php5|php6|phtml|shtml|([a-z0-9]{32}))$">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</Files>
#</ipb-protection>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /forum/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\..+$
RewriteRule . /test/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
AuthName "test board"
AuthUserFile "/home/media/.htpasswds/public_html/test/passwd"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user

then is normal to not work as with this code:

 

#<ipb-protection>
<Files ~ "^.*\.(php|cgi|pl|php3|php4|php5|php6|phtml|shtml|([a-z0-9]{32}))$">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</Files>
#</ipb-protection>

you are blocking php !

This code should be on the .htaccess that is on the uploads folder only !

As the users uploads goes there and you don't want them to run any php, cgi e.t.c files

So you can add that code on .htaccess files only on folders that users upload data and you don't want to let them run any code from there.
