PHPBB 403 Forbidden

[koruten78]

Hello. I recently installed phpbb3 to my website, and I am currently trying to set up the forums styles. Any file I try to edit, from any style, causes a 403 Forbidden error to occur. All the files in the styles directory are set to 0644. I do not know why this happens. Can someone explain please.

Add the following line to your .htaccess:

SecFilterScanPOST Off

This is due to Mod Security.

Ah yes, thank you. Problem solved.
May I ask why it there is mod security? A while back this never happened.

Hi koruten78,

"mod_security" is a module installed on the free hosting servers that will, by default, automatically detect common "attacks" to web application. Simple attacks such as SQL Injection will automatically be prevented by mod_security. It is enabled by default to automatically help strengthen any software your account is running.

However, sometimes there are a few false-positives.

Thank you,
