Hello everyone.
I'm having a major problem that unfortunately forced me to get rid of an MW installation, which after fiddling with it for too long, I decided to look for alternatives:
I created a subdomain to run a few tests so I'd see whay exactly was the problem with the MW script. Installed it via Softaculous without a hitch and visited the link so I could see what was the problem with it.
I couldn't post (that's the problem with the script, no surprizes there) but what happened next was worse.
I got a message saying:
Quote:
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
After making other subdomains and installing other scripts and just uploading dummy index.php and.htaccess files, the same happened again and again...
The only fix seems to be disabling mod_security, which allows me to do everything I want, including using the MW script at will with no restrictions. But this poses a major security risk, also confirmed by my webhost.
I've searched here on other threads, googled for it, asked in MW site, IRC and Quora but no joy so far.
The Error Log only shows me errors about older subdomains that have nothing to do with this.
Using CHMOD 750/755 on public_html and subdomain.domain folder does nothing.
I have no SSH, programming expertice and, as of now, ideas... Though my main site works flawlessly.
This is my .htaccess on the Main.
Code:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
If it helps... my site is: - Removed -
I think that somehow, the problem with the MW script is connected with this error so, solving this may definitely solve the other problem.
Please, do help. There are others too which need assistance...
