    Hello :),

    If you are getting 403 access denied error, then it might be due to ModSecurity. You should check the logs for the particular domain

    cat /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log | grep "domainname.com"

    If its ModSecurity, then check the reason for the error.

    Thanks.

    i think there is no more info in that log on what caused this access denial. only message "client denied by server configuration:", script path, date obviously

    More details on modsecurity blocks should be found in:

    Hello :)

    Do you have any .htaccess rules in the referenced directory that would prevent access to specific IP addresses?

    Thank you.
