Hi All,

I'm new here and I hope you can help. I'm running CMS MS version 0.12.1 with PHP 4.3.8 and MySQL 3.23.

I installed CMS MS fine and all went to plan. When I use certain items in the admin though I see this error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /application_sites\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\CMS_Simple\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\/admin/login.php on this server.

Apache/1.3.27 Server at localhost Port 80
It happens when I try to log out, for example, or move a page up or down in the order. Things still seem to work i.e. if I move the order of a page I get the error above but when I click back the page has indeed moved! I'm thinking this could be a configuration problem but I'm not sure so any help would be appriciated.

BTW my server address is http://localhost/ and the folder CMSMS is sitting in is application_sites/CMS_Simple

Actually, it may help if I included my config.php
$config['dbms'] = 'mysql';
$config['db_hostname'] = 'localhost';
$config['db_username'] = '*****';
$config['db_password'] = '*******';
$config['db_name'] = 'cmsms';
$config['db_prefix'] = 'cms_';
$config['root_url'] = 'http://localhost/application_sites/CMS_Simple/';
$config['root_path'] = 'c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\application_sites\cms_simple';
$config['query_var'] = 'page';
$config['use_bb_code'] = false;
$config['use_smarty_php_tags'] = false;
$config['previews_path'] = 'c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\application_sites\cms_simple/tmp/cache';
$config['uploads_path'] = 'c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\application_sites\cms_simple/uploads';
$config['uploads_url'] = 'http://localhost/application_sites/CMS_Simple//uploads';
$config['max_upload_size'] = 1000000;
$config['debug'] = false;
$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = false;
$config['auto_alias_content'] = true;
$config['image_manipulation_prog'] = 'GD';
$config['image_transform_lib_path'] = '/usr/bin/ImageMagick/';
$config['use_Indite'] = false;
$config['image_uploads_path'] = 'c:\\program files\\apache group\\apache\\htdocs\\application_sites\\cms_simple/uploads/images';
$config['image_uploads_url'] = 'http://localhost/application_sites/CMS_ ... ads/images';
$config['default_encoding'] = '';
$config['disable_htmlarea_translation'] = false;
$config['admin_dir'] = 'admin';
$config['persistent_db_conn'] = false;
$config['default_upload_permission'] = '664';
$config['page_extension'] = '.html';
$config['use_adodb_lite'] = true;
$config['locale'] = '';
$config['admin_encoding'] = 'utf-8';

Thanks

For some reason, you have a double slash.

Code: Select all

$config['root_url'] = 'http://localhost/application_sites/CMS_Simple/';
should be

Code: Select all

$config['root_url'] = 'http://localhost/application_sites/CMS_Simple';

Code: Select all

$config['uploads_url'] = 'http://localhost/application_sites/CMS_Simple//uploads';
should be

Code: Select all

$config['uploads_url'] = 'http://localhost/application_sites/CMS_Simple/uploads';

Code: Select all

$config['image_uploads_url'] = 'http://localhost/application_sites/CMS_Simple//uploads/images';
should be

Code: Select all

$config['image_uploads_url'] = 'http://localhost/application_sites/CMS_Simple/uploads/images';
See if that helps...

Thanks Ted, I've carried out the changes you listed and it seems to have worked. Not sure where those double slashes came from. Anyway I'll keep my eye on it.

Thanks

Sarah

The installer uses variables that come from the webserver, which are notorious for not being consistent amongst all versions.  Chances are that it's just putting out a weird version of some particular variable that's throwing the installer off.

Glad that fixed it.

Hi Ted,

I spoke too soon! But I've noticed that:

1. It does not happen in IE6, just FF

2. FF urls start ok with just a couple of %5C's but the more I use the admin the more slashes (%5C's) are added.

It's really weird and so I'm using IE6 for performing admin functions! I'd rather not though.
