FURLS causing 403 errors - no permission to index.php?

Hi,

I’ve got FURLs switched on and when I installed the demo site that comes with MODX some of the links come up with the following 403 error;

403 Error - Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /index.php on this server.

I’ve reduced the rewrite rules to this, but I am still getting the 403 problem;



Is there an issue with file permissions or something I’ve done wrong?

With thanks.

Is this a local webserver that you’ve copied the MODx files to, or is it a hosting environment where you’ve FTP’d the files to? (Or other?)
What are the permissions on that index.php file set to?

It is a web server, and not local.

The permissions for index.php are: 655. I’ve tried changing them to 777 - but still get a 403 error.

If I remove the HTaccess file and switch off FURLs, it seems to be okay - but that is because it is using the index.php?id=X

I’m going to look at this further - perhaps even re-uploading some key files and check user permissions as it is quite confusing as to why it is happening.

Hi there.

I’ve now figured out the problem!

The problem was that I am currently programming the MODX website on an IP address with a username attatched (ie: http://ipaddress/~username) and not an actual website address, so every reference to the RewriteBase to / was going to the wrong path!

I don’t know why it was happening, but I’ve solved it now.

So, in summary - if your developing/programming a MODX site on an IP address be sure to include the username on a HTaccess RewriteBase.

Phew.

With thanks.
