Joomla 403 Forbidden when trying to access php file
I have a Joomla site. I created a subfolder with a landing page. This landing page has been coded in HTML + CSS. This works great, but I have now added a small PHP plugin to manage MailChimp subscribers. But when I try to access the php file, the server throws the following 403 error:
Forbidden You do not have permission to access http://www.domain.es/folder/sub-folder/server.php
I changed my .htaccess file to allow PHP files like this (but it doesn't work):
<FilesMatch *.php$>
Allow from all
</FilesMatch>
Any ideas?
Try renaming server.php
to myfile.php
and see if you have the same problem. Perhaps your Apache server configuration has a block rule server.php
, because in many cases files with server.php
as their name are malicious.
