Bug #16279

error message: can't add html content element
0%
Description
Everytime I try to add html through the "special elements: plain html> element, I get this error message: "Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cpm/typo3/alt_doc.php on this server." (note: i also get this message in the iframes extension).
a couple notes:
1) i can add plain text and basic html tags and the file will save
2) i originally installed via fantastico. i installed a new one on a different server and am getting the same error
3) I have checked permissions on the alt-doc.php and can confirm that it is 777
4) i am using the most recent fantastico version: 3.8.0
I looked through the bug tracker but didn't see anything on this.
Thanks!

@Kelly,
I cannot see the attachment. And I cannot reproduce the error. Can you try the latest TYPO3 Version (4.0.0) to see if the problem persists? I suppose this is some problem with the "Fantastico" installer, which I don't know and which we won't really support here. Contact their team or your hoster for more help.
I'll close this bug in a couple of days if I don't get further feedback. Thanks!

HI Ernesto:
Thank you so much for your reply. I believe that I have narrowed the problem down to a conflict with mod_security, which is an open source firewall for apache. Mod_security is blocking addition of html to the pages, becuase it see it as a potential attack.
Unfortunately, it is one of those grey area's from a support standpoint. My host is working on a solution, but they are unfamiliar with Typo3, so it is a bit difficult for them to troubleshoot. I have seen several comments online, but they are in German, and I can't quite make out how to resolve the problem.
I realize that this is also outside the normal support area for you. I have posted my screenshot here: http://studiosoho.net/images/html_forbidden.gif
I would be happy to pm/email you my login information so you can see what it is doing. If there is any information i can provide to my host, it would be great.
Thanks again,
Kelly

I have read that placing:
SecFilterEngine off
in your .htaccess file disables mod_security for your setup which makes some things work again.
I'll close this bug as this is not really TYPO3-related but specific to the mod_security setup.
