Hi,

All of the sudden I am receiving a 403 Forbidden error when I submit a new record. Everything else works fine and when I reload the page the record has been inserted.

The message I get is
"403 Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /MyTable_view.php on this server."

The URL has
"?SelectedID=9&record-added-ok=993184204&SortField=&SortDirection=&FirstRecord=1&DisplayRecords=all" appended.

When I delete everything but http://www.mydomain/MyTable_view.php, the app loads fine and I can do anything without issue. As soon as I add another record, I get the error again.

Obviously I've checked permissions on the _view.php file and they are the same as ever (and I have no problem accessing _view.php all day long if I don't submit a new record). Can someone help point me in the right direction to troubleshoot this?

I never found the cause, so I ended up re-generating the app, dumping my DB, re-imaging my virtual web server and re-uploading it all to the refreshed machine. Works fine again.

I was really hoping to figure what the issue was because this happening out of the blue with no straightforward solution is rather scary. Not everyone I'm working for has a VM that can be wiped and reloaded at random.

Sounds like some security configuration in the old VM caused this behavior ... if mod_security is enabled in your Apache config, you might need to tweak some of its settings.
