MyBB Community Forums

I installed MyBB on my linux server as said. I can successfully logged into my admin account. But many files can't be accessed. All of them giving 403 error, even not the css file for the forum template.

My site: http://kshore.com/forum Please check the site. Even the css files can't be accessed.

See http://community.mybboard.net/thread-42160.html

MyBB does not have CSS files - they are stored as cache from the database. Also, try removing the htaccess if you have renamed it... it might interfere with mod_rewrite.

(See http://community.mybboard.net/cache/them...global.css)

I mean the css in cache is not accessible when the main page is shown. Also in admin section, many parts are not accessible, all showing 403 error.

Yes, read the thread I made, the one that Tom linked to, to see how to fix the 403.

I already deleted my .htaccess file....

And I can access admin/index.php clearly without any error. But I cant access links like:

admin/index.php?module=config/settings&action=add
admin/index.php?module=home/version_check
cache/themes/theme2/global.css
.............

I did check the site with and without the .htaccess file as mentioned in wiki, but the result is same. Is here any one who can give me a simple solution.

I need a simple solution, not the solution like contact host provider.

Well, contacting the host is the solution then. It's being caused because of something the host has installed.... if you just message them and ask them to whitelist you against it, you'll be sorted.

Is there any other options available?

Please try to access this link: http://kshore.com/forum/cache/themes/theme1/global.css

I think this is unusual...

Yes, chances are it's being caused my mod_security. If what is in the wiki doesn't work, just ask your host to sort it. They just have something installed which is interfering with MyBB.

There's been at least 30 threads on this and every time, asking the host to whitelist them against mod_security has sorted it.

Yeah, I had this happen to be last night after upgrading to 1.4; I had to get my host (HostGator) to whitelist my URL and then everything worked fine.

This is very bad for emerging script like MyBB. I didn't feel any problem with MyBB 1.2 so far. This is the first time I am facing problem with MyBB.

I contacted with the server admin and waiting for his reply. It is very disappointing if I need to switch to some other script, when the problem exists.
