joomla article shows as forbidden
Hi There
i have run into a problem and not sure what it is as i has happened on 2 fresh joomla installs
i have a domain www.surfs.co.za with joomla installed(currently offline)
i have a menu item called news with subitems
world tour
local
junior
womens
the submenu items go to a category blog layout and i put news articles into the relevant categories
however after the opening lines of the article i put a read more link, i can then see the opening lines but when i select read more i get the following
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /news/world-tour/16-surfs-
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
According to the error, there seems to be a permission issue for the files/folders. You need to check the permission/ownership and correct it. Are you on a Linux based server? If yes, please check the apache error log for more details or paste the log here so we could assist you further. Also you can contact your hosting provider to correct the permission/ownership issue.
Cheers !!!

A few questions for you...
Do you use any SEF extensions?
Have you set the article to be viewable only by registered or special permissions?

Hi Testez
i also thought so as the permissions were 740 i have changed everything to 755 and still no use, i just dont understand why doing it on some articles and not others, i go into the error log and its empty
Nukit
no SEF extensions are install and the article is viewable by the public

i seem to have found the problem
the read more puts the alias in
http://www.surfs.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16:surfs-asp-news-rip-curl-p
this is what is causing the problem as it should be like below
i have checked the link below and this fixes it, maybe a jce editior issue?

alright NUKIT i think i am going to have to give you the points, it wasnt the article that was faulty it was the category, anything i put in that category didnt work but every other category did, so i deleted the articles and the category, recreated and voila everything came alive, even though your answer wasnt exactly on the problem it helped steer me into the right direction
Thanks alot
Thanks alot
Sounds good...glad you were able to resolve your problem.
