lildog Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I am having a permissions issue....I think. When I try to check out, the checkout shipping page renders correctly. Then When I press continue I get a 403 Page forbidden error...Specifically: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /checkout_shipping.php on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. The server just upgraded to php 5.4 from 5.3, Apache from 2.2.25 to version 2.4.7and also MySQL from 5.1.70 to version 5.5.32. The permissions on checkout shipping are set to 755. I solved a few other issues but cannot figure this one out. Thank you very much for your help, Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildog Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Apologies for the bump...but the shop is v2.2rc2a I believe. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPhil Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 If you're running osC 2.2, you will have needed to make a lot of patches to the code to run on PHP 5.3, much less 5.4. Assuming you've done that, see what the ownership of checkout_shipping.php is. You say the permissions are 755 -- they should be 644, but 755 should do no harm. If you were downloading/editing/uploading files to make them compatible with PHP, maybe FTP changed ownership on a few files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildog Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 The permissions are definitely 755. The site did run well under php5.3. Last year did a bunch of patching. Just cannot figure out why the checkout shipping loads the first time but not when the continue button is pressed. I am at a total loss. The server is not generating any error other than the vague forbidden message. The site is duds4buds.com. The site is not working so the test account is [email protected] and the password is doodlebug. Once I get it working I will change the credentials.

MrPhil Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Except in a few strangely configured PHP installations, 755 is unnecessary. You don't need "executable" enabled. 644 (r/w for owner, r/o for everyone else) is normally sufficient. Are your other PHP files 644? Maybe your system is restricting execute-enabled PHP for some reason. The other big cause of 403 errors is that your host has a foolishly configured "mod security" set up. This looks for certain words, etc. in the URL Query String (among others) and kills it with a 403. Talk to your host and find out how to shut off "mod security", and see if that helps.
