Board problem
« on: December 10, 2010, 02:16:51 PM »
 When trying to gain access to the forum I kept getting an FORBIDDEN error stating I was forbiddrn to access an file. Anyone else getting this error. Maybe  the spam software was glitching. Just curious as this once not once but many tries.

I got some 404 forbiddens around 1pm Eastern.  It was down for around a half hour best guess.

I saw that also, and just as I was investigating, it fixed itself.

I suspect that HostGator was doing something with the server (maybe enabling mod_security in Apache and hadn't quite configured it yet .. that happened on another site and the 403 errors happened until they fixed it).

Best regards,
