FCKeditor : error 403 when open picture folder

[jens peter]

Thank you Holger.
You have been a great help and I will now take your information to the Brazilian host company and hope they will know how to set the correct settings. But I would not have had a chance to try to explain the problem without your feedback.
So again thank you very much.

Later: Talked with the host company and we added the .htaccess file with the line: SecFilterEngine off
And all seems to work now.

Cheers

Fine that it's working now.

So the error was caused by the Apache module called mod_security.
Mod_security can be used, among other things, to prevent some text strings to be in POST data.

With

Code: Select all

SecFilterEngine Off

you're turning off mod_security at all. IMHO that's not a good idea. And on most server configurations it's not allowed to turn of mod_security by .htaccess.

I think it's better to allow single scripts to execute over security settings. You can try to use a setting like this:

Code: Select all

SecFilterEngine On
SecFilterSelective "REQUEST_URI" "/path/script.php" "allow,nolog"

But I'm not sure which files / scripts are involved at all. So you have to try step by step with single scripts...
... and give us feedback .

BTW: in which foder has you added the .htaccess? Maybe it's enough to put it only in the folder with the connector???

Cheers,

Holger

Hi Holger
I would love to help, but the support at the brazillian host just did this and asked me to test if it worked and it did.
I am not good at this coding thing .. one of the reason why I like CMSimple so much as you really dont need to know much more then a few simple things to make it work.
It looks like the .htaccess file is placed in the root of the site. Is that a bad thing? You make it sound as it is

[Holger]

Is that a bad thing?

Hmm, I can't give you an answer on that. It depends on the server configuration.
IMHO it's not a good idea, but the brazilian hoster should know what he's doing with his servers.
