Forbidden - You don't have permission to access “foo” on this server

[eluser]CodeIgniterNewbie[/eluser]
I have a controller that exposes certain methods that were designed to be called by cURL (basically, just access the URL and it'll do its thing). Say the controller name is `api` and the method name is `push`. When I try to cURL it from one of my other controllers, I call the following URL:

Code:

http://www.domain.com/api/push/

I get the following error:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /api/push/ on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

But if I just access the URL in the browser, it works fine. Any idea what might be going on?

[eluser]CodeIgniterNewbie[/eluser]
Problem solved. I had IP restrictions in my htaccess. The server's IP was not allowed, thus when the code try to access the URL, it got a 403 error.

Hi CodeIgniterNewbie, can you explain how to fix the IP Restrictions?
i have same problem, its fine on my local, but error on server.
thank you

[eluser]CodeIgniterNewbie[/eluser]
Do you have an .htaccess file that allows/denies access based on IP?

[eluser]CodeIgniterNewbie[/eluser]
If you do, just add your server's IP address in the allowed list. That way, when cURL - which is connecting from your server's IP -- tries to connect to the server, it will be given access.

my .htaccess is like this

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

sorry my problem is not about cURL, but the scenario is like this

1. I open link : http://www.edidiway.com/rinnai/admin/ser..._edit/15/1

2. There are title(textbox) and map(textarea) in the form

3. I fill the title and map field with "test" word and click Update. It run well.

4. But if I fill the map(textarea) with the true google map embed code like this :
"<iframe width="595" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://maps.google.co.id/maps?
f=q&source=s_q&hl=id&geocode;=&q=jalan+haji+agus+salim,+malang&
aq;=&sll=-7.781568,110.364053&sspn=0.012161,0.01929&

t=m&z=14&ll=-7.983847,112.632222&output=embed"&gt;&lt;/iframe><br /><small><a href="https://maps.google.co.id/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=id&geocode;=&q=jalan+haji+agus+salim,+malang&

sspn=0.012161,0.01929&ie=UTF8&

ll=-7.983847,112.632222">Lihat Peta Lebih Besar</a></small>"
Then I click update button. I get error like this :
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /rinnai/admin/services/service_edit/15/1 on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Please help if you have any solution. thanks.

Is this a valid URL:

Code:

/rinnai/admin/services/service_edit/15/1

??? Please provide link to your site if you can.

[eluser]edidiway[/eluser]
yes it is a valid URL.
for example I have make testing url like this :

http://www.edidiway.com/rinnai/admin/testing

On that link you can submit whatever word, and success,
but if you submit "&lt;iframe&gt;" word. it will get an error like this
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /rinnai/admin/services/service_edit/15/1 on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

can you help me to tell what is the problem ?

[eluser]CodeIgniterNewbie[/eluser]
Can you show the code that handles the form?
