Hello,
I have installed OctoberCMS on my shared hosting server via the web installer. The installation process completed successfully, and I can access the backend dashboard without any issues. However, when I try to save a page layout, partial, or theme file using the backend Editor, I get the following behavior:
- A popup appears displaying source code.
- The Browser Console shows a
403 Forbidden
error on a POST request to/superadmin/editor
.
I have attached screenshots:
- The error popup with source code.
- Console log showing the failed request.
Here are the details:
- CMS: OctoberCMS
- Hosting: Shared Hosting
- mod_rewrite: Enabled (confirmed by hosting provider)
-
.htaccess
: Override rules are allowed.
Troubleshooting Steps So Far:
- Confirmed mod_rewrite and
.htaccess
settings with the hosting provider. - The issue seems related to server-side restrictions blocking the POST request.
Questions:
- Has anyone encountered this issue on shared hosting?
- Could this be caused by a server security rule like ModSecurity or firewall restrictions?
- Are there any specific backend configurations or hosting requirements to check?
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
