Most probably, your web server has
mod_security enabled. The
mod_security
feature scans all POST requests to the web site for forbidden words or
word combinations that might indicate that someone is trying to hack the
system. And if any of them exist, Apache returns the
403 Forbidden error. Common phrases that tend to trigger mod_security include
curl,
wget,
set,
file(, and
system(, although there are many others.
To disable 'mod_security' for your website:
- In the root directory of your CS-Cart installation, open the .htaccess file.
- In this file, add the following part of code:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
- Save the file.
- If it does not help, contact your server administrator.
