i set up an admin area at domain.com/admin with password protection in the .htaccess declaration. there i have a file named kb.php which i use to edit my knowledgebases.

it has been working fine until... one day i tried to update one of the KB.

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /admin/kb.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/1.3.34 Server at www.vuox.com Port 80 I got this error. at first i thought may have something to do with the new phpexec implementation. but i realize i can update/add/edit all KB except that particular one.

eventually, i found out that i can only edit my entry by removing this line:
PERL 5.8.4<br>

the HTML for kb.php is here:

Code:

 
<form method="post" action="">
  title <input name="title" type="text" size="40" value="Software versions"><br>
  cid <input name="cid" type="text" value="5"><br>
  text<br>
  <textarea name="article" cols="60" rows="50">
   <table width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0">
   <tr>
   <td class="dotted_bottom_black">
   <font face="verdana" class="v11" color="#000000"><b>Updated Software versions</b></font>
   </td>
   </tr>
   
   <tr>
   <td>
   <font face="verdana" class="v11" color="#000000">
   Please note that this list of software versions only reflect the last updated status.<br>
   <br>
   CPanel Build 10.8.0-RELEASE 14<br>
   
   PHP 4.4.1<br>
   MySQL 4.0.25-standard<br>
   <br>
   
   phpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl2<br>
   phpBB2 2.0.16<br>
   wordpress 1.5.1.3<br>
   </font>
   </td>
   </tr>
   </table>
  </textarea><br>
  <br>
  <input name="kid" type="hidden" value="21">
  <input name="updatearticle" type="submit" value="update"><br>
  <br>
  </form>

anyone knows what's wrong?

Contact support, that error has to do with mod security. One of the rules in mod security is conflicting with your script(s)
