Help! likely .htaccess problem, articles can't save

cangka · 2011-11-05 00:24:31

My stupid web host changed something, and now we can’t save articles. It’s VERY strange stuff. if we edit either excerpt or body, when we hit save it simply loads the home page and does NOT edit the article! if I delete my unmodified .htaccess file, i get a 403 error attempting to save. i’ve played with the .htaccess a little bit but have been unable to get it working:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Options +FollowSymLinks
#Options -Indexes
#ErrorDocument 403 default

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} !^$ RewriteRule .* – [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>

#php_value register_globals 0

dying here! the stock values all worked before. anyone have this problem? ideas? thanks.

Additional information: really weird. I can make text-only edits. i can place break tags <br /> but if i paste an img src tag, and save, i am redirected to the home page with the above .htaccess. what would cause it to treat these differently?

If memory doesn’t completeley leave me here, we’ve had some problems with saving here that could be cured with this one.

Thanks, but adding this to the .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_security.c> SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Didn’t appear to change anything. It still redirects to the homepage instead of saving content if i add an image or do anything other than edit text content.

If it’s helpful in diagnosing the problem, the site is hosted at Webspacehosting.com – the only txp site i’ve ever set up there.

Try adding on the top of the htaccess: SecFilterEngine Off and if that doesn’t work add SecFilterScanPOST Off just below it

cangka · 2011-11-05 14:35:41

Getting a 500 error when adding “SecFilterEngine Off” to my .htaccess file, with or without SecFilterScanPOST Off present.

Stupid question: there’s only one .htaccess file I’m concerned with, just in the root directory—right?

colak · 2011-11-05 15:39:16

We are talking about the htaccess which comes with txp

Try only adding SecFilterScanPOST Off and let us know if that returns a 500 or solves the situation

cangka · 2011-11-05 17:10:04

SecFilterScanPOST Off – adding this causes the site to return a 500 error.

with no .htaccess file at all the site and txp backend load, but attempts to save an article with an img src tag added return a 406—not acceptable error.

with the stock textpattern 4.4.1 .htaccess file, which worked before whatever happened here happened, attempts to save an article load the site’s homepage without saving.

I hope this helps with diagnosis. Thank you very much!

Sorry to come up with what might be useless suggestions but what happens if you disable the hak_tinymce plugin?
