[solved] can't create snippets [due to server configuration]

Hi,

i have installed modx, everything works great except when i try to create and save a new snippet i get.

You don’t have permission to access /cms/manager/index.php on this server.

any ideas?

cheers,

It sounds to me that your server has some mod_security setting what doesn’t allow some specific srting(s) to be in POST data. Try to save your code line by line and see on what line that error come’s up. Then you see what’s causing it and is there a easy way to get around it (ie. rename variable, join string from separate strings.. etc).

Or you can use includeFile snippet to include the code from filesystem. Or quick way to get around it is to use mysql client to put the code manually into the database.

Hi,

many thanks for those suggestions i added this to my .htaccess and it now works

SecFilterEngine Off

hopefully should be fine..

cheers,
G
