I have a dedicated VMware server with Centos Web Panel running on one of the VMs. On a subdomain I have installed Mantis 1.3.1. All was working fine for a year and a half. Then I migrated everything to a newer and faster VMware server. I have cloned the VMs over to the new server and also kept the same IP addresses for each VM. So much for a bit of history.
Now, when I want to add a bug note, add or update version info in a project, or basically enter any text in one of the text boxes, most of the time I get a 403 Forbidden error like these:
Code: Select all
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /manage_proj_ver_update.php on this server.
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /bugnote_add.php on this server.
The fact that it works with text like "blah blah blah" would suggest that this is not an issue with permissions to the php files or other files, but something that Mantis itself seems to be blocking.
I found one very old post on a forum describing a similar issue but that never got resolved (or the resolution wasn't posted). It suggested it might be caused by the plugin "MantisBT Formatting 1.3.0". I went into the configuration of that plugin and disabled all 3 options, but the result is still the same.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Or where to look for further clues? I'm not really familiar with Mantis or Apache log files, but I'm more than willing to learn...
