Support / Re: 403 error only for the settings area
« on: June 24, 2025, 09:08:00 AM »
I did find and fix the problem. It was in fact a false positive between Abantecart and Mod_Security.
There were three wrong permissions,
All three had permissions of 755 which in fact is the wrong setting. All three are supposed to be set to 555.
The permissions could not be reset with ftp, they had to be changed using the Terminal.
Although I'm happy that I fixed it, maybe this post will help someone in the future, I've decided to delete Abantecart due to the lack of resources available for free. I feel that Abantecart would have been so more popular if the resources were more widely available as they are for other shopping cart platforms.
There were three wrong permissions,
- Index.php inside the root directory
- Vendor Folder
- System/config.php
