(Private paths/data replaced with variables below)

Hello,

Whenever I ask the Blacklist module to generate the .htaccess file, this is the warning I get:

Forbidden

You don
't have permission to access /<$SYSTEM_FOLDER>/index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I am properly specifying the location of the .htaccess file, which is located below:

/home/<$USERNAME>/public_html/.htaccess

I have tried setting 777 permissions on the index.php file and the .htaccess to no avail. Any ideas?

It’s possible your server has some aggressive mod_security settings.  Try this- remove all of the text in the blacklist field- just include a single, very inoffensive test case.  See if you can submit that.

It’s possible the server isn’t liking something in the post array.

Nope. It seems it won’t allow any kind of write to .htaccess at all. There’s no obvious reason for it either; .htaccess is wide open for writing.

Have you tried setting the permissions to .htaccess to 666 instead?

Nope! That doesn’t do it either. My host is LunarPages, if you’re curious.

And you’re certain the path is correct?

You also have this going on:

You don’t have permission to access /<$SYSTEM_FOLDER>/index.php on this server.
