Forbidden error all of a sudden......

Every time I try to add a new custom block with javascript, I keep getting a Forbidden page with:

You don't have permission to access /modules/system/admin.php on this server.

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

This just happened without making any changes (add or deleting modules).

Any idea what is causing this or how to remedy?

Thanks

Hi, sounds like a hosting issue, maybe your host has installed a security filter onto the server, i f i remember i had a similar problem a while ago.

Check with your host and if they have you can add something like the following to your .htaccess file to turn the security filter off.

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

I emailed them yesterday and they had no idea what I was talking about and said there have been no changes. This obviously has to be a server side issue because I have went to three other sites of mine on the same server using XOOPS and tried to insert a custom block with a .

I had a different problem with the mod_security.

After moving my website to a new hosting company, I was no more able to change templates or to modify my footer.

I did not get any error message, even after having turned on the debug mode.

I contacted the tech support and got the server log:

These were the errors generated when trying to edit the tplsource table from PhpMyAdmin.

Looks like the \\\n in the tplsource were considered as an XSS attack

I included the following lines (found on this topic)
<IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
IfModule>


and everything is back to normal

Thank you Martyboy

Thanks, in the meantime I visited your blog and will be going back. I added it to my Blogs page for easy access.
Google maps are a nice touch.
Again, thank you.
