MyBB Question Regarding My Site

[techno59]

Why would I be running across a 403 error on my own forum when I'm trying to create a post. Yes I've made sure all of the permissions are set correctly & I hope someone can help me.

I also see this on the 403 page:

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

Your files or directories may have incorrect permissions. You can manage permissions from within the cPanel File Manager or through FTP. All files should have permissions of 644, and directories should be 755.

A rule in your .htaccess file might be denying your request.

Your request might be being blocked by mod_security because it looks suspicious.

I also see this on the 403 page

the "additionally..." stuff just means you do not have a custom 403 error page, so you get a 404 for the 403 error page

Hi,

Yes, we run mod_security on our free hosting service, to help protect your website against common web attacks. I took a quick look at your account's mod_security logs, and it looks like a request was recently blocked for including JavaScript in the data submitted. Mod Security will automatically block submissions containing JavaScript, since this isn't something normal users would need to submit.

Thank you,

All I was trying to do is something like this

<iframe height="550px" width="550px" src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Pg8kb4x0hc"></iframe>

I just want a Youtube video to show up on my forum for other users to watch instead of having to go to youtube just to watch it.

Please use MyCode (actual name) and try something like this:
[video=youtube]VID_ID[/video]

If that doesn't work then you can add your own MyCode that would allow you to use MyCode to embed YT videos.

Alright now for some reason I can't access my test site when I've been working on a theme for my forum for the past 3 days. I'm getting

Domain document root not found.

&

The requested URL /admin/ was not found on this server.

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

. I'd like to please know what's going on here.

Are you using a custom domain (not the sub-domain you had set up with X10)?

 

[techno59]

It's a x10 domain the issue apparently fixed itself after I made that reply.
