Have been using MyBB sucessfully for a week or so now and went in to perform some admin functions on my user list but can not access any admin functions.
I can log in to the admin cpanel and see every admin module but as soon as I click on anything I get
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /BB/admin/index.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I have not made any changes on the server end ..I did add the email new member mods and they both have been working fine.
Just happened?
Everything looks OK as far as permissions and the database etc .
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks for the reply! I took a look at the mod_security posts and I don't think that is the issue ...
My error logs show instances as follows:
[Mon Oct 27 08:24:55 2008] [error] [client 70.90.219.118] File does not exist: /home/cbw510/public_html/miurareps/403.shtml, referer:http://www.miurareps.net/BB/admin/index.php?module=config
Looking at the PHP configuration (I can't use the tool in my ACP)
but it can be seen at
http://www.cannonboilerworks.com/phpinfo.php
It does not look like mod_security is installed
The complete error page is :
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /BB/admin/index.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

What is most disturbing is that this has run flawlessly up until this AM??
Thanks
Contact your host and ask them to whitelist your domain against mod_security. This worked previously for jlee and I'm going to try it later tonight...

Are there any other errors besides that one?
Also, please make sure your admin directory is CHMOD 755

Looking at the error file, the only errors relating to mybb are similar to what is shown above. Whenever I try to access a module. Everything else in the ACP show up fine.
The admin directory and all subs are 755, the php files in the subdirectories are all 644
Thanks
I talked to my host on this - jlee's actions of getting his domain on a whitelist cures the problem. Basically, as far as the tech explained to me, mod_security is activated due to
Pattern match "(\\.\\./\\.\\.|/)".
He edited /opt/mod_security/whitelist.conf and removed ruleIDs from my domain - although this is in Apache 2, and is likely to be differ from server setup to server setup.
So the only thing you can do to fix this (realistically) is to contact your host, provide them a link to an ACP page you can't access (they won't need login details), mention mod_security and they can figure the rest out there themselves!
Only if you have a competent webhost.

Then surely the suggestion is to get a better host who knows what they're doing...
