I am getting error when trying to do anything from Admin CP, I can log in to Admin CP but cant do anythin from there, When ever I click any option I get the following error.

Quote:Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forum/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 havent changed anything recently, I last accessed the Admin CP 15 days back without any problem but now I am not able to do anything.

Can someone please help me solve the problem.

Contact your host and ask them to whitelist your domain/account against mod_security.

[Wiki: Help:mod_security] (Broken link, head over to docs.mybb.com instead)
Also look here: http://community.mybboard.net/thread-40432.html

I'm having this problem too, but I don't see any evidence of mod_security in there at all.

Is there any other reason this would be happening?

With the PHP info file that the instructions say to check.

If you have that error, 99% of the time it'll be mod_security When your host whitelists your account, it'll go.

You can also check your server's error log to see what exactly failed. If you don't have access to this, ask your webhost for it.

I talked with the people from hosting and they say Forbidden errors are usually folder/file permission problems and not Mod_security.

Just ask them to disable it from your account and you'll be fine, there's nothing MyBB can do about it.
