Unable to submit changes in admin-UI

[knutta]

I have just installed CMSMS 1.10.2 hoping that the error was confined to 1.10.3, but no luck.

The issue is as following:

I am able to use the admin UI as normally, browse around and edit it, but if I want to make any changes to ie. a page and hit submit i get redirected to

"http://www.example.com/admin/editconten ... d=15&page=

and get the following message:

Forbidden

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

I am fully capable of hitting apply to save changes, but as it seems I am not able to hit Submit and return to the list of pages. Now I've tried changing permissions on files in the admin-folder with chmod -R 666 admin/, but that renders the admin-interface useless as I am not able to access anything at all. It won't accept anything but 755. Another thing I am picking up is that as I am browsing the adminpages the URL is example.com/admin/listcontent.php?_sx_=34f1411f, but when I hit submit the ?_sx_=34f1411f isn't there anymore.

Have anyone got any idea what this is? I am having some issues with php that I haven't figured out yet. E_DEPRECATED is enabled and basedir is active. I am using domeneshop.no which is a norwegian hosting service, so I am a bit restricted as to what changes I can do, but I have used them before with cmsms and it has always worked like a charm..

Any help appreciated as I am running out of time here..

If it helps I am running the following:

CMSMS 1.10.2 (full)
server is linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 on x86_64
apache/2.2.16
MySQL 5.5.16
PHP 5.3.3-7+squeeze8

if you do a search for 'editcontent' and '403' you'd find that this is related to mod_security, which CMSMS does not support.

Ask your provider to remove the mod_security restrictions for your site.

Thanks for the reply. I talked to the support-staff at my hosting-service and apparently it's running on all their servers, and cannot be disabled for my domain. yuk!

Do you have any idea for a workaround?

[calguy1000]

if your host won't disable mod_security for your domain (and YES it is possible to do)... the file that needs to be edited may just be under the strict control of the server admins.

Then find a different host.
