whenever i try to upload a big article ( not toooo big ) i get this error
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /modules/articles/submit.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

No matter from where i upload admin area or anonymous submission .. i get same error .

Using xoops 2.0.10
Articles, version 0.24a

Help me out please :(

Are you behind an HTTP proxy server (either configured by yourself, or an "invisible" proxy set by your ISP)?

It seems that proxy servers can cause this problem, so if you are, I suggest trying without the proxy.

Other than that, could you please let me know what browser you're using, and, if possible, could you send me the article you're trying to submit (zip it up with winzip, or similar) to the e-mail address in my signature below, so I can try it.

Thanks.

ok I emailed you . :)

so what should i do now :( should i uninstall module and install some other module that can handle big articles .. Can u suggest some good ones for xoops 2.0.10

I have to admit to being stumped - I've tried the article you sent on a couple of different installs I have of XOOPS and Articles, and it was fine (even using the TEXT field type).

The only other thing I can think of, is the editor you are using - are you using the default editor, or one of the third party WYSIWYG ones like SPAW?

hey is it so ?? should i uninstall and reinstall module then ?? I am using just default one that comes with xoops 2.0.10 . No additional one's added .. Also if i am getting 403 error can it be permissions problem on site???? should i chmod some files??

Will using any wysiwyg editor help in situation ?? tel me any good one and i will install it .
Thx for testing .. eagerly waiting for reply :)

Well, as for permissions and the editors, it may be worth a try...

Perhaps 644, or 755 may do the job?

Do you have this problem if you enter that text into any other module with a textarea field, like the FAQs module?

And if that fails do you have a URL where I can try it for myself (it may give me a better idea of what's happening)?

eh sure go to softhome.uni.cc and try to uplaod that article from submit link . I have allowed anonymous uplaods . and error i am getting there is just same as i get when i upload froma admin area ..

403 forbidden

i chmoded submit.php to 777 but no help and nothing comes in phpdebug just 403 page :(

hey i just installed sections module which comes as default with xoops 2.0.10 and shockingly it gave same error when i added some stuff from admin area in it .. So now its sure that this isnt module prob and um sorry for giving u a bit headache but now i dont know what to do :E . Do u have any idea abt situation i contacted my webhost and he checked everything and said there are no limits on my account toooooo

Well, I've tried it and I see what you mean...

I even tried converting extended characters (like quotes) to their respective HTML entities, and that didn't help either.

I can only think that it's a PHP or Apache config thing, somewhere...

You could try adding the article a bit at a time (maybe by paragraph, in the edit area), and see which bit and/or where it fails. That may give an idea on whether it's some text in the article it doesn't like, or if it's a size problem.
