  Hello :), If you are getting 403 access denied error, then it might be due to ModSecurity. You should check the logs for the particular domain cat /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log | grep "domainname.com" If its ModSecurity, then check the reason for the error. Thanks.

  i think there is no more info in that log on what caused this access denial. only message "client denied by server configuration:", script path, date obviously

  More details on modsecurity blocks should be found in: /usr/local/apache/logs/modsec_audit.log

  Hello :) Do you have any .htaccess rules in the referenced directory that would prevent access to specific IP addresses? Thank you.
