client denied by server configuration

[chadlly2003]

i tried this but it did not work

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} xxx
RewriteRule .? http://example.com/404.shtml [R=301,L]

I even tried to do a redirect to see if it would still populate that error and of course it did.

Any recommendations here will be much appreciated.

xxx = whatever it was called in your error path: public_html/images/xxx/cwr

I don't know what it was actually called. Since you used 'xxx' so did I but you have to use the actual name.

This is the code i tried to use. But I still get constant errors .

This is the path that no longer exist: images/marine_images/cwr

That seems to have done the trick. Though i did notice one thing.

If I type the path in http://www.xxx.com/images/marine_images/cwr ------ all is good
when i type in https://www.xxx.com/images/marine_images/cwr ------- i get the log error
If I type the path with the redirect in place in http://www.xxx.com/images/marine_images/cwr ------ all is good

I also have this included in my .htaccess file i am not sure if that will help.


Options -Indexes
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

As mentioned earlier, if you are using 'https' for you site then you need to use it in the redirect.


RewriteRule .? https://your-domain-name.com/404.shtml [R=301,L]

I think that the HTTPS value is only present when the request is made over https:// protocol. What happens if you change one statement in the .htaccess:

Options -Indexes
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

I tried your suggestions but got the same results. The error constant I tried everything to get this to work. Do you have any other suggestions or recommendations on solving this issue

If I type the path in http://www.xxx.com/images/marine_images/cwr ------ all is good
when i type in https://www.xxx.com/images/marine_images/cwr ------- i get the log error
If I type the path with the redirect in place in http://www.xxx.com/images/marine_images/cwr ------ all is good

[chadlly2003]

Just a follow up of some information when testing I found that even when i remove the redirect completely i still get the same results. So i don't think that is the issue. Also noticed that when i use piece of code some of my images disappear.

If anyone has any idea or suggestions please let me know

I am having a hard time with client denied by server configuration.

What if I remove my .htaccess file from the image folders. Would that solve the issue. I know its not the best solution but its the only thing i can think of
