Can not edit define pages editor main_page error

[kobra]

Yes i am using the override system - its for zainabscollection - the file is located at

includes>languages>english>html_includes>MYTEMPLATE

Is that just a place holder to not post the name of your template?
As this would not be correct as I posted where these should reside...

For me, the permissions are 644

Okay- Now seriously- there is some sort of a problem here. Now when I try to edit my categories images or text, I'm getting the same error:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /<my custom admin name>/categories.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I know that others are having trouble too. Any help here? Anyone?

This should be fine for files
What are the folder permissions?

It seems that I've been accused of hi-jacking this thread (which was never my intention) so I'll humbly decline to interact further and will just sit back and watch. Hopefully- someone more helpful than the 'Snake' persona will choose to be kind enough to assist us.

No one can assist if you do not provide information requested

What are the folder permissions?

So what are the folder permissions for this folder?

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /<my custom admin name>/categories.php on this server.

and triple check them on the file "categories.php"

Hi Kobra
yes the files are in the location noted - MYTEMPLATE is in the place of my actual template name.

my admin?define_pages_editor.php is set to 644

im not sure what folders you are wanting me to check

thanks

Here's what ended up solving the problem for me (so maybe it can for you too).

I contacted my hosting service and explained to them the error that I was getting. Before the end of the day I got the following response:

"It appears that your domain may be hitting some of our recently updated mod_security rules. We can whitelist these, but first we will need to be able to reproduce the error."

And that ended up taking care of it. So if you're reading this thread, you may want to check with your hosting service first. (Mine is awesome, by the way. I wish I'd thought to contact them in the first place - could have saved myself some grief).
