Gighalen Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I own a small website hosting company, and my schools Auto Tech program purchased a website (www.bhsautotech.com). The first month they had it, the site worked fine, but now, all http requests from the school campus go straight to 403: Forbidden no matter what (including directories with indexes and file-inclusive URLs). But I CAN login and access the FTP server from the same location. However, other websites (using the SAME ip address and DNS servers) still display as they should. -www.arabheritagememorial.com -www.supermanfalcon.com -www.ms-stormrage.com What can be causing this problem? The county IT guy for all the schools insists the problem is on my end, but how does that explain the other websites on the same IP address and DNS servers still being able to be accessed? I'm thinking that they somehow are blocking HTTP requests to that particular domain name. I have checked the IP deny manager for www.bhsautotech.com and the list is empty.

trq Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 There's no 403 from here so if you or the application aren't blocking the ip then I would suggest the error is on there end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gighalen Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 That's my point :[ Does anyone have any idea what could be causing their isp to display the page as a 403 error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Have you checked your apache logs to make sure its not your server displaying the 403? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 So all requests from the school to the website show as 403? On your computer (outside of the school) does it work OK? Get someone in the school to run this in a Command Prompt: ping www.websitename.com (and email you the IP address). It sounds like their DNS might be doing something strange. They might be going www.websitename.com, however it could be going to a different IP. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
