    Hello there! :)

    I was trying to make a change on the 'advanced' tab of the amember and when i go to save then this is what i get

    ------------
    Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access /amember/admin/setup.php on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    -----------

    if i try to save for example on the first page of the utilities/setup configuration it works well, but, when i try to make a change to the advanced tab it breaks. what could be the reason for this? i even changed all the permissions to 777 under the admin folder and nothing.

    I was trying ot change the number of ip connections allowed. And i can't.


    Thanks a lot!!!! :cool:

    This seems to be because of mod_secure installed in your server.
    It can block some urls that matched internal queries.
    Try to disable it, put .htaccess with this code into aMember folder:
    SecFilterEngine Off
