Hi everyone!!
I'm new to GS and i've just finished installing it on my VM at home. Now everytime I try to create/edit a page, i get the following error:
Code:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /admin/changedata.php on this server
All the files in the admin directory is set to rw-r--r-- I've tried to change permissions via chmod 777, 755, etc... to no avail. Also, the user apache is the owner of all files.
Can someone help please?
Thanks.

so this on a localhost? What is your VM's server details? Does it work on your hosted webserver?

I have the same problem.
If i write
www.h2m.ch in a Page, i get the Error:
You don't have permission to access /admin/changedata.php on this server.
www.h1m.ch or
www.h3m.ch works fine.
=> I think
www.h2m.ch is on the same hosting as I

Definitely a server issue.
Do you have issues saving anything else ?
It is possible that host is detecting a security issue and blocking access.
Does it matter what you write in the content ?
Can you change other things in page options without issue ?

I had the same problem with my first installation.
The problem was that the iindex.php in the admin directory was deleted by my server configuration, and the Options Directive in the root .htaccess file is using the option -Indexes.
"-Indexes" does not allow you to browse a directory like this:
http://www.mysite.com/directory/
You have to go to
http://www.mysite.com/directory/index.php or index.htm.
So, browse your admin directory and make sure the index.php file is there. If it is not, upload it again from your downloaded zip file, and you should be able to start working again.
Regards,

no it almost certainly is a permissions or owner problem

Then its probably your host blocking using some xss filter, like mod sec
check your host error logs

I looked up the error logs on my shared hosting account, and yes, the 403 error was there because the action tripped a filter on Apache mod_security module. Copied and pasted into an email to support and they white listed the file. Works fine now.
Thanks for the tip.
