'Forbidden Access' error and 'tag in POST' error while publishing / editing article in Joomla

Forbidden Access error, and 'tag in POST' error? while posting in http://www.doh.gov.ph/bihc_doh

This has not occurred before: frontend editing saves are rejected with a message 'Forbidden Access (flooding)' - or 'Forbidden Access (tag in POST)'. This is with Joomla 1.0.12 and 1.0.13 versions.

This is either (a) a Joomla built-in security block being triggered, or (b) more likely a server setting perhaps. I'm seeing it especially on Apache 1.1.3x / Unix servers.

If you Save and edit with a few words of plain text, it seems to be OK; but a fair-sized page with plenty of mixed content gets blocked - probably because of the number of HTTP requests at one time?

Of course, it means that frontend editing is impossible, which makes any kind of community use out of the question. Thought this was a joomla issue or server setting, but obviously an extension issue.

Solution:

Turn off security features of SH404SEF, that is of course assuming you have had the extension installed (being the issue here) :D

Need to install Apache, MySQL, and PHP (Linux, Mac OC, Solaris or Windows)?

I was reminded of a friend who asked me the other day about installing a CMS package, as well as installation of Apache to his server... Thus, this article... He was asking for feedback on manually installing each application needed: Apache web server app, mysql and php... Manually installing each package separately may be the best, effective way. However, personally, I have had no problem in installing the three in a bundled package like most LAMP packages offer... Besides, I tried the manual installs and found it to be a tedious process... Personally tested XAMPP, a very easy to install Apache Distribution for Linux, Solaris, Windows and Mac OS X. Have been using it eversince, locally or remotely. The package also includes the Apache web server, MySQL, PHP, Perl, a FTP server and phpMyAdmin.

Download XAMPP and other add-ons at these links (for Linux, Mac OS, Solaris or Windows):

XAMPP Official Developers' Site
Sourceforge.Net

Simply download, extract, then enjoy! And by the way, it's free!

Forgot your password in Joomla, Drupal, or any other php run cms with mysql database (with management in phpmyadmin)?

Forgot your password in Joomla, Drupal, or any other php run cms with mysql database (with management in phpmyadmin)?

In the event you forget your administrator password or passwords in in Joomla, Drupal, mediawiki, coppermine, etc. (or any opensource php-driven cms with mysql database manageable in phpmyadmin for that matter), a workaround is fortunately available. For newbies, forgetting one's administrator user account's password the only solution will have to be re-installing the entire cms from scratch thus re-creating an administrator account in the process. A solution is as follows:

- Go to site/phpmyadmin (login, of course assuming you have the necessary rights to the database/s)

- Browse for the database, then the table (in the case of Joomla, Drupal, etc. this is commoonly the table 'users') intended to be edited

- click edit user, then under the 'Function' column (dropdown list) choose MD5, edit the 'Value' or your password (you will initially see the encrypted version of your original password), then type in the desired, new password of your choice

- Lastly, don't ever forget your password again, silly! :D

Thanks to pete avila and michael perido for the tip! cool guys from the pacific rim, Philippines :p...

What’s in the ‘mytahanan’ word?

What is “mytahanan?” (www.mytahanan.com being a joomla project undertaken for a realtor friend...)

“Tahanan” is the Filipino (colloquially Tagalog) word for “home.” As distinct as home is from a house, such is also “tahanan” from “bahay.” Thus, www.mytahanan is that real estate web site that deals with selling and presenting Filipinos here and abroad (and those wanting to call the Philippines their home) houses, condominiums, apartments, and other similar premeire properties which aims to provide you that ideal place you would love to call home.

May it be a condominium or studio units in the hectic and hustle bustle commerial and urban locations like Makati or Manila; or quite, cool tranquil, and idyllic vacation spots like Tagaytay and Baguio; or internationally popular summer and beach destinations like Boracay, Malay in the island province of Aklan; or simply city or suburban residential lots and properties in cities within Metro Manila like Las Piñas, Parañaque, Mandaluyong, etc., you will find it here.

If not, you contact us and we will provide you the realty service and deals that you deserve and available in the Real Estate market here in the Philippines.

Joomla! customization of default pages, textual phrases, messages, instructions, breadcrumbs, etc.

Want to edit or customize the following default Joomla textual phrases, messages, instructions/instruction pages, errors, links, breadcrumbs, etc. (examples: who is online, We\’re sorry but the page you requested could not be found., The database adapter is not available, You are not authorised to view this resource, Incorrect username or password. Please try again, You cannot enter more than one e-mail address, Message subjects, contributed by/ last updated by/ written by, etc.) dynamically generated by default install of Joomla? Check out language/english.php where such text can be edited addordingly… just be careful with the php strings and copyrighted materials where they apply…

Below are the following pages/modules/extensions whose messages/errors that can be edited or customized accordingly for Joomla! 1.0.13 Stable:

// no direct access

// Site page note found

// common
/** mambots */

/** content */

/** classes/html/modules.php */

/** contact.php */

/** classes/html/contact.php */

/** pageNavigation */

/** emailfriend */

/** classes/html/content.php */

/** content.php */

/** poll.php */

/** classes/html/poll.php */

/** registration.php */

/** classes/html/registration.php */

/** classes/html/search.php */

/** templates/*.php */

/**
* Modify this line to reflect how you want the date to appear in your site
*e.g. DEFINE(”_DATE_FORMAT_LC”,”%A, %d %B %Y %H:%M”); //Uses PHP’s strftime Command Format
*/

/** classes/html/usermenu.php */

/** user.php */

/** components/com_user */

/** components/com_banners */

/** components/com_login */

/** components/com_weblinks */

/** components/com_newfeeds */

/** whos_online.php */

/** modules/mod_banners */

/** modules/mod_random_image */

/** modules/mod_stats.php */

/** /adminstrator/components/com_menus/admin.menus.html.php */

/** administrators/components/com_users */

/** administrators/components/com_massmail *//** includes/pdf.php */

For instance, there is that page in joomla that says “There is a Web Link already with that name, please try again.” everytime you double entry or conflicting item in the weblink manager. To add a few instructions or details to that line, you could add desired text therein. ;o) just a tip for those who had the same difficulty of searching for answers when one wants to customize Joomla and its default text and messages.

Important reminders:

1. html tags apply within the ‘text phrase’ only, be carely not to mess around with the rest of the php strings (safe practice is to make a backup copy of english.php)

2. with Joomla! 1.0.13 Stable version, there is no way you could add header items to english.php it will result into errors like:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/jerome/public_html/site/language/english.php:1) in /home/jerome/public_html/site/index.php on line 238… /home/jerome/public_html/site/index.php on line 239…
/home/jerome/public_html/site/index.php on line 240…
/home/jerome/public_html/site/index.php on line 241… /home/jerome/public_html/site/index.php on line 242…

Hope this helps
