Your problem
My problem is:
- after fresh install of Mautic on Hostinger.com (a LiteSpeed server), I am getting 403 server error when I try to continue installation.
These errors are showing in the log:
Steps I have tried to fix the problem:
- I have commented-out the following section in .htaccess file, which allowed me to finish installation:
<IfModule authz_core_module>
-
But then files like ie.
/config/local.phpare no longer restricted from access in browser. -
What should I use for .htaccess on a LiteSpeed server to protect the internale files?
-
ChatGPT rewrote the .htaccess as the following, will this be sufficient?
# Use the front controller as index file
DirectoryIndex index.php
# Set Authorization header for OAuth2 for when PHP is running under fcgi
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .+
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
# Redirect to URI without front controller to prevent duplicate content
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index\.php(/(.*)|$)
RewriteRule ^index\.php(/(.*)|$) /$2 [R=301,L]
# If the requested filename exists, simply serve it.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule . - [L]
# Rewrite all other queries to the front controller.
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
