Knowledgebase and FAQ
When I submit a story I get this message: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /stories.php on this server.
Solution
A 403 error is usually caused by certain forbidden words in the story text. The known ones are curl, lynx, and python. These are all related to the server settings. But, you ask, how did I get them to show up here? You could check the source of the page to see, but basically I added something to the middle that only shows up in the source code and not when the page is viewed. I merely added <!> in the middle of the word. In doing so, you're breaking up the word with a bit of code that doesn't show up in a browser (I added another one to that one to make
it
appear). If none of those words are in your story, but you still have trouble, try (starting from the end) deleting a paragraph and hitting preview, then if the error persists, hit back, delete the next paragraph, etc., until it works. Then you'll have narrowed down where the problem is, and can try deleting word by word until you figure it out. Then you can add the <!> to that word. (And please submit a support ticket, so the knowledgebase can be updated.)
