    Default 403 Forbidden on admin site in new install



    I'm working on upgrading my site from 1.3.0 to 1.3.8a, and I made a fresh install of 138a to do some playing and testing. Anyway, the install went okay for the most part, except that I can't access my admin pages -- I get a 403 Forbidden message.

    My freshly installed site is at http://justclickplay.net/candles and the admin should be under http://justclickplay.net/candles/admin for now. My secure site URL is https://plus24.safe-order.net/justclickplay

    Here's my admin/includes/configure.php :

    Check these:
    PHP Code:
    define('DIR_WS_ADMIN''/candles/admin/');
    define('DIR_WS_CATALOG''/candles/');
    define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN''/justclickplay/admin/');
    define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG''/justclickplay/'); 
    and try:
    PHP Code:
    define('DIR_WS_ADMIN''/candles/admin/');
    define('DIR_WS_CATALOG''/candles/');
    define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN''/candles/admin/');
    define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG''/candles/');

    Didn't work.

    Default Re: 403 Forbidden on admin site in new install

    I changed HTTPS_ADMIN to '/justclickplay/candles/admin/' and CATALOG to '/justclickplay/candles/' and I can now get logged in. HOWEVER, if I click on any link, it takes me back to the login screen. It seems that the links are pointing to the unsecured "http://justclickplay.net/candles/admin/configuration.php?xxxx" rather than the secured location. If I copy/paste the link into my address bar and manually change "http://justclickplay.net/candles/admin" to "https://plus24.safe-order.net/justclickplay/candles/admin" then it works. Very annoying, but at least further than before. :sigh:

    Turn off the ENABLE on the secure ... does it work?

    If so it is because your secure URL is also wrong:
    PHP Code:
    define('HTTP_SERVER''http://justclickplay.net');
    define('HTTPS_SERVER''https://plus24.safe-order.net');
    define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER''http://justclickplay.net');
    define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER''https://plus24.safe-order.net'); 

    You might try:
    PHP Code:
    define('HTTP_SERVER''http://justclickplay.net');
    define('HTTPS_SERVER''https://plus24.safe-order.net/justclickplay');
    define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER''http://justclickplay.net');
    define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER''https://plus24.safe-order.net/justclickplay');

    You should check with your Hoster to make sure you are using the correct SSL path.

    These do not look right:

    define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://plus24.safe-order.net');
    define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://plus24.safe-order.net');

    You might need to use: https://plus24.safe-order.net/~username - or something similar.

    Also, change the following:

    from
    define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'none');

    to
    define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'database');

    Whew, I got it working. Here's the changes I made. Figured I'd show you here so maybe it will make more sense to you than me. :)

    PHP Code:
      define('HTTP_SERVER''http://justclickplay.net');
      
    define('HTTPS_SERVER''https://plus24.safe-order.net');
      
    define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER''http://justclickplay.net');
      
    define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER''https://plus24.safe-order.net'); 
    AND

    PHP Code:
      define('DIR_WS_ADMIN''/candles/admin/');    
      
    define('DIR_WS_CATALOG''/candles/');
      
    define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN''/justclickplay/candles/admin/');
      
    define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG''/justclickplay/candles/'); 
    I suppose I could have added the /justclickplay to the end of the safe-order.net links, but this works and I don't want to break it again. Still gotta make sure it stands the test of time. Anyone see any problems with this? Should I post my main /store/includes/configure.php to get some welcome criticism?

    I'd suggest try the change as that is how it should be written so that the paths work properly under all circumstances of going between the secure and non-secure pages ...

    While it can probably function the way you have it, that is not technically correct based on the design ...

    I concur, with both of the last two posts.

    OK, thanks, Ajeh! I've changed it to move the /justclickplay from the DIR definitions to the HTTPS defnintions (after the server) and it works.

    Thanks for all your help! And Happy 2008!!
