We just moved our installation to a new server and I am facing a problem now however: I can access and download the files normally, but if I try to edit an entry (even if I make no changes) and save it again, I get a 403 page (Forbidden) mentioning this URI:

/vbdownloads.php?do=download&action=update

I've checked the permissions on the vbdownloads.php file and they're set as 644 as normal. I guess it's trying to access something else and it fails?

Any ideas on what to look for?

Check your server's error_log as there may still be a file permissions issue somewhere.

I've checked the Error Logs, unfortunately there's no entry when this occurs at all. I've also double-checked the permissions of all the relevant files, they seem to be correct. The path to the downloads folder also is correct, as I am allowed to download files from there normally.

This only occurs when editing an existing entry or trying to add a new one, during the Save stage.

Any further ideas?

[midwan]

Anything at all I could do to fix this? Even re-installing the XML after re-uploading all the files doesn't seem to fix it. The settings in AdminCP seem to be correct (regarding paths), the permissions on the files and folders are correct from what I can see, there are no errors reported in the Error log of the server or VB itself...

I have no clue on what to look for... :-(
Please help?

hi, how changed this colour background? thx

Unfortunately as this is a server issue I can't really assist further, your host will be able to tell you where the web server's error log file for these issues is located.

Please, this mod for vBulletin 5.

None of my screenshots or thumbnails are showing instead I get the noimage.png. In the directory where the files are kept the images and thumbs are there.

[DragonByte Tech]

Are the images and thumbs correct in that directory? Have you opened them to check?


Fillip

[webspider]

Yes and it does not look like the thumb was created however there are thumbnails there from other uploads but they don't show either. If I click the noimage.png screenshot it does link to the correct image.
