[resolved] [Solved] 403 error on longer articles
i’ve just moved my install from my internal OSX dev server and moved it to a live server (terrible trouble getting it all to work) but now i think i’ve got there AND i’ve upgraded to the latest version. I couldnt get my data across and so ended up reposting all my articles on the live server.
Most of this seems to be working EXCEPT
When i try to post a longer articles 700 or so chars + i just get:
“403 forbidden”
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /textpattern/index.php on this server.
if i shorten the article it [sometimes] works…
I can’t understand it all – any tips please
i’ve got messy URLs and diagnostics pass all ok

Re: [resolved] [Solved] 403 error on longer articles
Looks like an instance of mod_security-related symptoms. Check with your webhost’s support.

Somewere on the top of your htaccess file add SecFilterEngine Off
, save and check if you can post.

Thanx Colak, that sorted it here as well. If you find time, could you explain, why this works? Thank you again.

It turns off mod_security. Follow the link in Roberts (wet) post.

Re: [resolved] [Solved] 403 error on longer articles
Hi— my problem is identical: short things will submit, like style sheets and page templates, but if they get long, I get a 403.
I’ve tried SecFilterEngine Off
, which caused Apache to break, so I tried this:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
That keeps Apache from breaking, but does not fix the 403 error, unfortunately. Any ideas would be appreciated. This is a fresh install.
I have Wordpress running on the same server, so I know it’s not a problem with POST data. I’m very comfortable tinkering with the PHP, so if someone could point me towards the file or action causing the problem, I could delve in myself. I really like Textpattern; it was exactly what I was looking for.

Re: [resolved] [Solved] 403 error on longer articles
Hi countytime,
Try
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecRuleEngine Off
SecFilterInheritance Off
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
and please let us know if it does make a difference.

Re: [resolved] [Solved] 403 error on longer articles
No difference. I actually don’t think my server is using mod_security, or if it is, users don’t have the option to change it, because when I type it in, there’s no syntax highlighting on SecRuleEngine Off
, etc, but there is on everything else.
