Title: At Login - 403 on index.php, after login retry - OK !!!
Post by: melb on October 18, 2007, 11:29:24 AM
SMF Version: SMF 1.1.4
Hi.

SMF works great, once I get logged in!  But, I seem to get a "cold start" problem. Our board is under test and not yet in production. When logging in after a period of inactivity, the first login goes wrong. Pressing the Back button and Login again, then all is OK!

Raw log is:-

Having problems with mod_security? (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=34270.0)

Many thanks for tip.

I followed the advice in http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=34270.0.

mod_security is installed and I've added the override commands to my .htaccess.

So, see how it goes. I'm not sure yet if it fixed it, but it certainly looks OK

Again many thanks. Appreciate it.

Regards  Mel

Monitor it for another day or so and make sure it's ok now. If so, you may mark this topic as solved.
