v154
Server OS: Linux 2.6.32-896.16.1.lve1.4.51.el6.x86_64
Database: MySQL 10.0.34-MariaDB-cll-lve
PHP Version: 5.3.29 (Zend: 2.3.0)

When I try to log into Admin I get this message:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /store/adminbob/login.php on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any clues? It used to work fine.Thanks.

Looks like the error is fixed. That's good news.

May I suggest, for security, that your rename your admin folder since you published it in your post?

Thanks
Tina

Where did you get the idea it was fixed? It is definitely not fixed! But yes, that was dumb, putting the adminbob in.

Presumably by attempting to access the page and it displaying without issue, although didn't have the credentials to actually login. So, can you describe the operations performed that cause the issue and give a perspective about when the issue began, the history of the site and how it came to be, etc?

The ISP helpdesk fixed this. In case someone else has this problem, they said to go to the admin .htaccess file and change this:

<limit POST PUT>
deny from all
</limit>

to this:

<limit POST PUT>
#deny from all
Require all granted
</limit>

I still don't know why it went wrong, but I'm just happy that it's fixed.

FYI this has already been fixed in the 1.5.5 version of that file.

Dang, so upgrading would have fixed it?

not really clear...

the v154 admin/.htaccess file is slightly different than your version. and the v155 version also has differences to your corrected version.

you can see then both here:

https://github.com/zencart/zencart/b...dmin/.htaccess

and

https://github.com/zencart/zencart/b...dmin/.htaccess

i would review those files....

best.

I'm having this exact same issue but I'm using version 1.5.1

The htaccess file located in the admin folder reads differently to what you posted above. Does anyone know how I can fix?
