[espectations]

Hello,

I upgraded 1.6 to 1.7 and then 1.7.1 - after that I logged into admin to add content and got this messages - could someone please advise how to fix this?

You don't have permission to access /mysite/admin/addcontent.php on this server.

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

Can you still see your system info page? if so look for any yellow ! or red X...

I've been using CMS Made Simple for a while now and this is the first error I've ever gotten when I did a NEW install of the 1.71. I get the same message - can someone please advise.

I checked the system settings - it's the same as all the other sites I've done and those are working properly. It only happened when I installed this new version.

[Dr.CSS]

Does your server use the rquired versions of PHP etc.?...

[shocktheory]

Yes it does. I just found out that "every" site we've ever done with CMS Made Simple is now having an issue with saving the page. There is a common factor is that the host for all of these are HostGator. So I've contacted HostGator to see if something has changed but I'm just really curious as to why this is happening all of a sudden. That is alot of websites.

[shocktheory]

My host actually did something wrong with some type of security issue. They has to go back and change (whitelist) all 30 sites. urrgh. So, I'll consider this issue closed for me. Thanks!

Our hosting company did not change anything.

I changed my site back to the previous version and it is working - then I created a new directory and installed 1.7.1 just to test and once again I could not add content - here are my system settings:

which one of these could maybe cause the problem??

espectations, i guess new column was not created. there should be all these colunms in `cms_content`:
content_id, content_name, type, owner_id, parent_id, template_id, item_order, hierarchy, default_content, menu_text, content_alias, show_in_menu, collapsed, markup, active, cachable, id_hierarchy, hierarchy_path, prop_names, metadata, titleattribute, tabindex, accesskey, last_modified_by, create_date, modified_date, content_name_en, menu_text_en, metadata_en, titleattribute_en, secure;

EDIT: `secure` is of type 'tinyint(4)'

Hello,

I checked the database and
`secure` is of type 'tinyint(4)') - it is all there and I still cannot add content?

An other suggestions please?

You don't have permission to access /mysite/admin/addcontent.php on this server

IMO you have uploaded files with wrong permissions try 775 or even 777 (just to test).

[jswags]

Hello,

I have exactly the same issue. Fresh install of version 1.7.1
All relevant folders are CHMOD 777 as follows:
        *  tmp
        * tmp/templates_c
        * tmp/cache
        * uploads
        * uploads/images
        * modules
PHP Safe Mode (safe_mode): Off (False)
Current PHP Version (phpversion): 5.2.12

I've installed CMSMS many time previously and never had this issue.

To reiterate the problem. When I go to:

Content > Pages > Add Content
Type in Title, Menu, Content
Submit
I receive a: "403 Forbidden - You do not have permission to access this document."

Once my server wakes back up (it takes a while to allow access back into the site) no content has been added.

However as an additional note I can copy an existing page from the install stage and modify it fine?!?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Set modules to 775 and tiny to 775...

[espectations]

Changed permissions to 775 and still no joy???

Maybe we should just stick to the last version that worked?  Problem is that nobody supports it anymore.

[jswags]

Unfortunately it didn't work for me either. I even tried 777 for modules and TinyMCE folder.

The really odd part of the entire process is now that I've attempted to add new page content it causes my server to time out - "Connection timed out"

Did this problem start for other people at version 1.7.1 or was this a problem before?

I might have to look at an older version too.

Again any help on this would be great.
Thanks
