Magento - clicking on parent category returns 403 error

I have a problem installing Magento 1.5.0.1.

Clicking on a subcategory works great and will send me the correct url and display the products. However, when I click on the parent category, I get a 403 forbidden error.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

There are several reasons why a category link would be 403.

My first guess was that there is a directory in the root of the website with the same name as the category, and you have URL suffixes disabled.



For example, for a top-level category, the URL key is "media", while the URL suffixes are disabled, usually results in a 403.

Another possibility would be if you are using Apache and enable mod_security and the category name contains work that mod_security doesn't like (e.g. select, paste and delete).
