Let’s try to make the most exhaustive and complete ticket here, ready?  
  
  
  
When I go to make a new form like this: [http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cDjUFxjVwS](http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cDjUFxjVwS)  
  
I get an error of {“error”:“You do not have access to the requested area/action.”} Ok, no problem right? So I search the docs and find these threads :  
  
  
  
[https://www.mautic.org/community/index.php/1486-you-do-not-have-access-to-the-requested-area-action-in-forms-fi/0](https://www.mautic.org/community/index.php/1486-you-do-not-have-access-to-the-requested-area-action-in-forms-fi/0) \<— That “could” be the problem unfortunately, we’re not rockin’ the varnish. **So… that ain’t it!**

After reading the next doc…[https://www.mautic.org/community/index.php/269-form-redirect-failing/0](https://www.mautic.org/community/index.php/269-form-redirect-failing/0) appears to be not related and already patched here: [https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/272](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/272)

I did set up Mautic’s log file which is here: /l/app/logs/mautic\_prod-2016-08-29.php But that log output doesn’t yield any indications that seem to be directly related to the error. **_(or does it? Pardon my #always-be-learning mentality, but I don’t think this log is actually related to the error. But, then again, I’m not afraid of being wrong!)_**

Code:

OH SNAP! After jacking around a while, my error\_log finally blew up! #wahoo! Now we can see this repeating over and over again:

Line 55 of ArgvInput.php is referring to …what _???_ the server name, right? Which was already set here: ![](http://image.prntscr.com/image/b878926b10834963a1c17b08ff771b95.png) correct?

Line 59 of ArgvInput.php is referring to …what _???_ somehow taking the last character off of the \_SERVER variable? Did I get that part right? If so, then somewhere along in the process, I’m guessing I need to take off a forward slash? No, wait. I should probably be **adding** a forward slash to something correct? thinking out loud

</div>

changed cron settings to this (which didn’t help) and apparently had nothing to do with the original problem, but I thought twice after re-reading this doc: [https://mautic.org/docs/en/setup/cron\_jobs.html](https://mautic.org/docs/en/setup/cron_jobs.html) as it wasn’t quite specific enough for my brain to figure out:  
 ![](http://image.prntscr.com/image/7f895c3eef5b44239b57c26eeab3cee2.png)

THEN I also rubbed all my brain cells together and started wondering what the `array_shift` does. So, after reading thishttp://php.net/manual/en/function.array-shift.php , I added a trailing forward slash to the main URL like this ![](http://image.prntscr.com/image/132c3c5b1d6146a694f04940aac33623.png)

thinking that the additional character would/ might/ could/ should/ …fix the problem.

[h]Nope.[/h]

[h]Where is this error coming from?[/h]  
Folks, I don’t mind giving to any and every open source platform. But I really need some help here. We can all contribute in our own way ~ from a sysadmin to a marketing aspect. But I need to get this fixed TODAY! Surely someone knows, sees, and can, at minimum, point me in the right direction or give me a hint. At this point, anything would help. Thanks!

Hi there.

First off - I really appreciate all the back work you did to try and get this resolved! Excellent post. Sorry responses are a little late in coming.

For the argv error - see the last paragraph of [https://mautic.org/docs/en/setup/cron\_jobs.html#tips-troubleshooting](https://mautic.org/docs/en/setup/cron_jobs.html#tips-troubleshooting) - Looks like it’s related.

For the form/JS error - see [https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/2401#issuecomment-243546468](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/2401#issuecomment-243546468) - Cloudflare and Froala don’t play nice breaking all JS for Mautic. You unfortunately have to disable Cloudflare’s js minifying feature until Froala does something about it.

Thank you @alanhartless !!  
tags & breadcrumbs for others (because we all use the Search box, right? Right! Ok. Good!)  
FIX for Mautic 2.1  
Froala editor 2.3.4  
You do not have access to the requested area

Now, if 'ya found this page, then: Rock On! Read @alanhartless 's message right above this about disabling CloudFlare’s js minification like this:
