403 Forbidden errors

[Anne]

Recently, I've been getting this error when trying to batch add files:

Code Select Expand

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /gallery/displayimage.php on this server.

This doesn't happen with all folders, only some so far. I read on the board that it may be cause by the .htaccess file. This is what is in the file:

Code Select Expand



RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?mysite\.com [NC]
rewriterule \.(jpe?g|gif|png|bmp|mp3|mov|wmv|rm|ram|asf|wma)$ - [NC,F]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mysite.com/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mysite.com$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mysite.com/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mysite.com$      [NC]

Is anything in it causing the 403 errors? If not, what else might cause it? I'm pretty sure the permissions on the folders are correct...

Nevermind, I think I figured out the problem. I changed 'Allow several consecutive comments on one file from the same user (disable flood protection)' to Yes in the Config panel. Batch add seems to work fine now.

although I can't see how your problem and solution should be related (batch-add = searchnew.php vs. displayimage.php), but thanks anyway for reporting back that you were able to resolve this.
