Hi,
I just install a clean version (with a new database) of opencart 2.2.0.0, then I go to the admin page, Setting then just open and save the configuration (no changes made) and I get the following error:
403
Forbidden
Access to this resource on the server is denied!
Please If anyone knows how to solve it, thanks

Hi varrate,
Have you verified that your permissions on the server folders is correct?

See if setting the permissions to 777 makes any differences... But do not leave them at that permission; Change them back to 755
Also where did you get your copy of OpenCart?

Still not working

the problem is only on Setting -> Save
If you want I can grant you access to Cpanel and admin if you want to see

Now you installed OpenCart with no issues? Or did you just upload the files without installing?

I tried a new installation 1.5.6.4 and 2.2.0.0 versions
Also I use my original opencart store backup which works with no problem (version 1.5.6.4)
The only difference is that are different servers
I don't know what else to do

If both server are running exactly the same systems then check you config files there is most likely a mistake in them.

I have the same issue with a new installation of 2.2.0.0. Cannot save System Settings without getting 403 error. I checked neogeo's suggestions, folder permissions are OK, and I removed -Indexes. But it did not help.
Makes OpenCart completely unusable.
Server info:
cPanel Version 56.0 (build 13)
Apache Version 2.2.29
PHP Version 5.3.29
MySQL Version 5.5.49-cll
Architecture x86_64
Operating System linux
Perl Version 5.10.1

Are there any OC extensions installed?

Go to your Cpanel > Security> ModSecurity
Disable it & edit your store setting & save it.
Once your done turn the ModSecurity back on!
I dont have to hope that this helps..... Cause i know this will help......

Simply change the URL from
sitemap to
sitemaps (or any other name you may want) - as it basically conflicts with another module you may have installed.
Code: Select all
UPDATE `opc_url_alias` SET `keyword` = 'sitemaps';
It worked on Opencart 2.1.0.2
