A French problem.
This seems very weird to me and I have no idea what is causing it. It would seem that some of my French visitors, and it would also seem to be those using the “free-fr” ISP are getting a 403 when they try to visit thebombsite.com but only for the TXP parts of the site. They can access my Guestblock and ZenPhoto installations without problem. It would also seem that if they change the “clean” URL to a “messy” one in their browser’s address bar they can view the TXP parts as well. Has anyone any idea what might be causing this please?

Of course, I would add that Free.fr doesn’t do anything strange to the connexion (it’s not AOL-like, merely the opposite.. a very “raw” provider, in the best meaning of the word).
Stuart’s site is the only one were I (and others it seems) have problems.

Re: A French problem.
Have you tried that “messy” URL trick that fpradignac suggested?

Try this plug-in download link, but don’t use the download as it’s behind your version.

Yep, working.
So it ought to be in the rewrites rules.

Re: A French problem.
That’s what I’m thinking but why does it only seem to affect Free-fr users? This is what I have:-
<code>RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
php_value register_globals 0</code>

Still 403 on the homepage.
It may be a security filter of some kind (I know Textdrive filter a whole french ISP, and didn’t even know and about or handled it) but the 403 is a little strange then… and if so, why it only affect rewrites rules ?
You have no parent apache config or htaccess files ? A native TXP install (no hacks) ?

Oh well that didn’t work then. :(
My install is unhacked. It is in the root /public_html/ directory. There is no .htaccess in the level above that. My test site is in a sub-directory of /public_html/ and if I remember correctly you can see that?? There are no unknown files anywhere. It’s a very clean site really. :)

Probably, but I don’t see anyone coming to the rescue. :(
