Brotherhalo Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Just updated to 4.1.19.3 yesterday. One of my users was having issues posting in a forum so I thought it would help. Didn't. In fact, I'm getting a 403 error (others are seeing the same issue, others are not): Forbidden You don't have permission to access /forums/index.php on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Beckham Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I have exactly the same since the last update. So, how do I remove Cache or the Datastore directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJ77 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 almost sounds like a server permission error. You didn't by chance do the upgrade from a phone did you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I try posting something that contains emoticons, html, or otherwise any special formatting, I get the error. If I remove said formatting, html, or emoticons, I can post. I have to see whether or not this is the same for other users... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adlago Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I only think of a way that looks for your "needle in a pile of hay" - Share a test account from your community to make real tests. Or, as I have already advised you - create ticket support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brotherhalo Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 I submitted a ticket last night. The reply wasn't very helpful: Hello, I would suggest contacting your hosting company regarding this issue, as something is blocking you there. Its likely you have mod_security, varnish, or securi installed which is causing issues with your site. Kind Regards, Marc Stridgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donkerrood Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Are you on your own server? Do you have Opcache enabled in combination with PHP 7.1.4 latest update? This is an IPS known bug. Try disabling the Opcache module on your server. It took me (with help of IPS) two days to hunt down this bug. It disabled posting for my members, while I still could post, and brought my CPU load to 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brotherhalo Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Sorry guys, haven't had a chance to get back to this for a short bit, but looking at it now. Will let you know results of modifying .htaccess... Oh, and I'm not running PHP 7.1.4. I'm using hostrocket as my hosting provider and I have selected version 7.0 for PHP with opcache disabled...
