Help: Problems with Flyspeck

dharrison · 20th February 2008, 08:09 PM

Hi all. I am trying to install Flyspeck (Simple content management system) but I am having problems.

I have adhered to all the instructions given and everything does work except the most vital bit of all: The publish button. It doesn't publish.

Basically when the action is called when posting to http://www.ocp-officefurnituresupply...nt=saveContent I get the following "403 Forbidden" error page.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<html><head>

<title>403 Forbidden</title>

</head><body>

<h1>Forbidden</h1>

<p>You don't have permission to access /flyspeck/index.php

on this server.</p>

<hr>

<address>Apache Server at www.ocp-officefurnituresupply.com Port 80</address>

</body></html>

Why does this page come up? Does the server not support AJAX or is it some petty apache security setting that we have overlooked?

Any help will be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.

Deb (ps if it helps, example page is here Ergonomic desk pricing - OCP)

I had this problem when creating an AJAX application, you need to contact support and ask them to let mod_security allow your requests.

Thanks TygerTyger I was asked to set up an .htaccess file and it all works.

Kudos to you.

Well sort of kudos, if I'd remembered the solution I could have just told you myself. May as well say now to save Support some effort in the future, add the following to your .htaccess file to disable mod_security, but be sure that's what you want to do. Broadly speaking, it'll be when you're throwing $_POST requests around with javascript.

Code:

# Disable mod_security
