403 error for mod_rewrite mode

  • Hi,

    I’m using the 5G firewall rules (https://perishablepress.com/5g-blacklist-2013/) to protect my site and noticed today a problem for one specific rule if SuperCache is used in mod_rewrite mode.

    I get a 403 error if I keep this rule (I removed all others for this post).

    <ifModule mod_alias.c>
  RedirectMatch 403 (\,|//|\)\+|/\,/|\{0\}|\(/\(|\.\.\.|\+\+\+|\|)
</ifModule>

    Anyone an idea where here is a match?

    Must be something from here (disabled gz):
    RewriteRule ^(.*) "/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{SERVER_NAME}/$1/index.html" [L]

    BTW these 403 errors are related clients like Pingdom and some mobile browsers.

  • Hi Olaf

    I have the same problem, 403 error, when using WP super cache in (Use mod_rewrite to serve cache files)

    I couldn’t find any solution on the web, what you advice me to do?

    I tried deactivating iTheme security plugin, but same error.

    Thanks

    Hey Marko,

    I have this 403 error only if I use this extra rule as mentioned above.
    If I remove that the problem is gone. Maybe in your situation it’s related to a server configuration? I remember me that I had problems before (on other servers I guess)

    Hello Olaf,

    Thanks for replying, I could find the mentioned rules in the .htaccess.
    The problem maybe somewhere else.
