After upgrade to 2.2.8 problem "access denied" on save

    I am experiencing a very similar issue but I am not using Gallery.

    Using Modx version 2.2.14 traditional.

    Everything was working normally until I set up friendly url's.

    htaccess forces the site to go to www.exampledomain.com

    However, when I opened manager i had been using exampledomain/manager.com, the result was nothing was working in manager.
    After i log out & back in using www.exampledomain/manager.com I found that the only part not working is the resources tree. In Elements & Files I can save stuff.

    The icons are no longer available in Resources and I can no longer create new pages (even when using 'site/newdocument' i get access denied when trying to save it.

    I have tried every conceivable combination of flushing cache/permissions & browser cached but nothing seems to work.

    Anyone got any ideas what I can do here?

    I just got friendly urls working, I do not want to remove them already.

        Could you explain in a little more detail what you mean?
        I've cleared the browser cache & cookies.

        Now I am also finding that i get the following error ('action_err_ns') when try to flush permissions or clear the cache in admin.

        Flush all sessions will log me out without receiving an error though.

          Just making sure that you don't have any stale cookies hanging around.

          Try going to the /manager/ directory and copying the ht.access file there to .htaccess; all it should be doing is turning the RewriteEngine off for the manager.

            Hmmmm,

            I found in Manager directory one .htaccess file, it only has one line;

            RewriteEngine Off

            Surely this is correct???

              Just wondering, the following is my .htaccess in the root:

              # Friendly URLs Part
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
# Force all pages to go to www.example.com for SEO
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*(default|index)\.(html|php|htm)\ HTTP/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)(default|main|index)\.(html|php|htm)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
# Friendly URLs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
# Additional Settings Follow
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000

              Is there anything in there that could affect the admin manager?
              • sottwell Reply #157, 9 years, 9 months ago
                I don't know what these lines do
                RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*(default|index)\.(html|php|htm)\ HTTP/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)(default|main|index)\.(html|php|htm)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]


                The Manager uses a lot of AJAX, so it's quite possible that something in the root directory's .htaccess could be interfering with the AJAX requests.

                  Its purpose is to return only 1 url, for the home page there were 3 variants of the url so this is viewed as duplicate content.

                  The code works for the homepage (always 1 url returned) although I'm unsure what other implications that using this can produce (i just c&p the code from a google search).

                    Hi Sottwell,

                    I removed those 2 lines & now admin manager works. Thank you for the heads up smiley

                    Maybe it is a better idea to use specific re-writes than using generic ones.
