Accessing 'Groups'

I just did a new XOOPS install on one of my sites. Everything is working fine except for when I try to access 'Groups' through the admin panel. When I try I get a 500 Internal Server Error that states:

"The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

Check to make sure the address for your groups link is
http://yoursite.com/modules/system/admin.php?fct=groups

Yes that is the address.

Re: Accessing 'Groups'

If this is on a hosted server I would get in touch with the web host as this is a server error. They could help to shed more light to the cause of the error. If it is on a local server check the logs and see if more information is there.

Like I said this is a server error, not a XOOPS error. Although the error could possibly be the result of a XOOPS setting it also could be a server config error.

There is nothing in my server's error logs.

Re: Accessing 'Groups'

This error is weird. I just changed hosts so I did a clean install of XOOPS for one domain. (the original one that I got the first error message which prompted this thread) I checked the server logs and they showed nothing. So I transfered another domain to the new host last night, downloaded the zip file again to be sure that wasn't it, and did a clean install this morning on it. When I tried to access Groups on the domain I got the same error with nothing in the logs again.

So it wasn't a corrupt file. I duplicated the same error on different domains but the same host. The url is correct. The logs show nothing.

Everything else in XOOPS is working fine. Am I missing something?

Re: Accessing 'Groups'

Well my host sent me a response and they fixed the trouble. For anyone that has this trouble in the future here is what fixed it for me:

Quote:
It looks like our security modules were blocking the requests. These modules compare the input string with strings that are commonly used by hackers to gain access to the server. In this particular case such a string was being used, however it was a valid request in this case.

Is there any more info on this problem? Im having the same problem and the idea of changing a server config because of bad coding is not a good idea IMHO.

Re: Accessing Groups

Its a trade off of security vs usability.
I've never heard of a web host actually using a Apache Module to do that kind of a thing.
