403 Forbidden

[Kelvin]

Hello,
When I try to change settings in wordpress to allow anyone register on my website (www.kfashionug.com), I get this error:
403 Forbidden
Access to this resource on the server is denied!Powered By LiteSpeed Web Server
LiteSpeed Technologies is not responsible for administration and contents of this web site!

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks

not sure if it's a wordpress(php) issue
you can try switch to apache to see if same issue.

which URL cause 403 ?
your-domain-com/wp-signup.php
or other URLs ?

 

[Kelvin]

No,
When I go to wordpress settings to tick "Anyone can register", (wp-admin/options-general.php) I get the 403 Error on Saving the changes.


This is the image of the option.

any error message in error log for the 403 forbidden ?

if you've enabled mod_security, can disable it temporarily to see if still 403 ?

 

[Kelvin]

No Error message in the error log and I can't find mod_security

you can enable wordpress debug
http://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress

The following code, inserted in your wp-config.php file, will log all errors, notices, and warnings to a file called debug.log in the wp-content directory. It will also hide the errors so they do not interrupt page generation.
// Enable WP_DEBUG mode
define('WP_DEBUG', true);

// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);

// Disable display of errors and warnings
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
@ini_set('display_errors',0);

and check /wp-content/debug.log if any log in it when 403 error happens

Thanks, let me do that now and get back to you

I can not find debug.log in wp-content after copying the code to wp-config.php

this doesn't look much helpful ...

please try lsws's debug logging:
1.lsws web admin->Actions->Toggle Debug Logging
2.watch error.log
3, reproduce the 403 error
4."lsws web admin->Actions->Toggle Debug Logging " again

check error.log, see if any 403 related logs
