403 Forbidden apache 1.3?

[danimal]

Hello!

I can't seem to find an answer to this. I'm using WHM 11 but haven't yet done the EasyApache3 -> Apache 2.x update yet. So I'm still on 1.3.

But I'm finding a weird, yet repeatable problem. If I reload an image three times in quick succession, the third time, it comes back with a 403 Forbidden. But the first 2 it shows. I can then repeat it with the same thing.

So there is something that is complaining, perhaps because of the quick reload. The problem is that I have some PHP scripts that generate a bunch of thumbnails on the fly and some of the thumbnails don't show up because of this. If I reload the page, some do and others don't.

Since it's repeatable, I suspect there is a setting somewhere, but I have no clue where to look or what might be the culprit.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks!

mod_evasive maybe?

Infopro,

THANK YOU!

That was it. I found this: http://www.webhostingresourcekit.com/255.html and just commented out mod_evasive.

I'm going to be doing the switch via easyapache3 at some point soon (*gulp*), but I wanted to take care of this in the meantime.

All better! I just hope the server doesn't get slashdotted. Doh!
