Getting "Acess denied" on users/write_ad.php

Hello,Do you get any errors in your webserver error logs?Ryan

Hello Ryan,Thank you for your reply.I'm getting theis page:"ForbiddenYou don't have permission to access /users/write_ad.php on this server.Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."Error log shows me this line:"[Tue Mar 05 09:50:40 2013] [error] [client [redacted IP address]] File does not exist: /home/phkesw/public_html/dev.portugal-relax.com/403.shtml, referer: http://dev.portugal-relax.com/users/write_ad.php"Any clue :|Thank you again...Regards,BM

Hmm, sounds like maybe the file permissions aren't right on the write_ad.php file? Files should likely be 644 and folders should be 755 unless your host has some weird setup.

Just checked... all folders have 755 and files have 644.It seems "Forbidden" only shows up if URL form field isn't left blank when submiting ad.Ex: http://www.google.com/ gives me the error...http://dev.portugal-relax.com/users dont give me the error...weird... :

I will test it out and see if I can reproduce it and fix it up.

I guess something is blocking me from linking external url's on the host server. I can't reproduce it on my local machine... no problem linking above urls.Maybe a workaround?

Oh, maybe it's mod_security that's causing that. I actually think I fixed that in a recent dev snapshot.

replacing only write_ad.php?I'll test...

replaced users/write_ad.php and include/ads.inc.php with the snapshot 2.1.r167 and same happens...

I think there would probably have been other things modified as well. I will find the commit and see.

Yeah some database queries would have to be done I guess to alter the form. Basically remove the http:// from the url box.https://milliondollarscript.com/source/comp.php

Forum cant handle the urls.

SOLVED :DThank you Ryan!
