2. Every time I access my site for the first time there is always shown like image on my attachment
it would be glad if I have some help, thank you
Sorry for my english, not so good with that, I'm from Indonesia so english is not my forte
Addition: my site is www.endejaya.com
Hi mozard and welcome to elk.net. :)
This page is usually the result of some Apache configuration setting, most likely mod_security.
Doing some tests I can see that accessing http://endejaya.com/index.php gives you the "forbidden" error, but accessing http://www.endejaya.com/index.php the error doesn't appear.
The difference is the "www", apparently you configured your ElkArte to have the "www" in the URL.
Testing a bit more, it looks like the problem arises when both PHPSESSID and wwwRedirect are present in the URL, for example:
http://www.endejaya.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=f3f2b9ae9cc1125b1a7ff65cb1d304c7&board=1.0;wwwRedirect
you can trim it down to a simple URL I'm not going to post here that basically crashes (at least I'm not able to get a direct response any more, I have to go through a proxy now).
What I would do is:
1) set up htaccess so that requests are sent to either the "www" version or the "non-www" version of the site, this has the advantage of not letting Elk-redirect to take place,
2) contact my host to understand if it is possible to fix the mod_security issue and/or disable mod_security entirely.
Thanks for your help .. yes I realized that I put it on wrong place after I post it >.<
Yes, I set it to use "www" when I installed it using Softaculous, and now I realize it that it is not resulting good :(
Will try it tomorrow when I have access to cpanel
at last this forum cms is great, very light, fast loading!
It can be fixed at any time from Elk admin panel, once you decide which one you want to pick, of course. ;D
