403 forbidden error website
-
Hi Mozzers,
I got a question about new website from a new costumer http://www.eindexamensite.nl/.
There is a 403 forbidden error on it, and I can't find what the problem is.
I have checked on: http://gsitecrawler.com/tools/Server-Status.aspx
result:
URL=http://www.eindexamensite.nl/ **Result code: 403 (Forbidden / Forbidden)**
When I delete the .htaccess from the server there is a 200 OK :-). So it is in the .htaccess.
.htaccess code: ErrorDocument 404 /error.html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^home$ / [L]
RewriteRule ^typo3$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^typo3/.$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^uploads/.$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^fileadmin/.$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^typo3conf/.$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule .* index.phpStart rewrites for Static file caching

RewriteRule ^home$ / [L]Don't pull *.xml, *.css etc. from the cache
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^..xml$

RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !be_typo_user [NC]
NO frontend user is logged in.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !nc_staticfilecache [NC]
We only redirect GET requests
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} GET
We only redirect URI's without query strings
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
We only redirect if a cache file actually exists
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/typo3temp/tx_ncstaticfilecache/%{HTTP_HOST}/%{REQUEST_URI}/index.html -f
RewriteRule .* typo3temp/tx_ncstaticfilecache/%{HTTP_HOST}/%{REQUEST_URI}/index.html [L]End static file caching
DirectoryIndex index.html
CMS is typo3.
any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I know this thread hasn't been active for a while but i'm looking for an answer relating to a similar issue. Our infrastructure team had issues a few weeks ago and were routing bot traffic to a slave server. This obviously flagged up 403 errors in webmaster tools.
Having removed the traffic diversion our site hasn't been indexed in the three weeks since serving Googlebot with a 403 response. Does anyone have experience of Google delaying reindexing of a site after experiencing a 403 response?
Thanks

Hi Alan,

the htaccess. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks!

Thanks Anthony!
That's the strange thing, website is working only there is still a 403.
We will check chmod status.

Hello Maarten
Those RewriteCond entries are cumulative and it looks like there are missing commands.
Who edited that file last, and what did they change?
The way conditionals work is you set a condition, Then you add a command, then a line break You can add more than one condition and it acts as AND
This page has what look like too many conditions and not enough commands -but it could be ok
Try adding a blank line between the rule entries and the Cond entries (but not between the Cond and the Rule entries)
Here is what to do to test anything like this: Save a copy of the .htaccess Then start editing it Delete everything below ##Start rewrites See if that fixes it. If not, the problem is above or if that fixes it, the problem is below Keep cutting the file in half or adding half until you discover the problem line
It is harder with all those conditionals, I suspect it is the lower block that is the problem
So remove those Cond entries from the bottom up

Follow up:
I'm not seeing any errors when visiting the site (http://www.eindexamensite.nl/). It seems to be working perfectly. Could it be something client-side w/ your caching or system time?

Hi Maarten,
I'm not extremely familiar .htaccess or the typo3 CMS, but it could be the issue is simply a result of misconfigured file permissions for a specific directory or path.
I'd check the permissions on all of the paths that are affected by the .htaccess and make sure they're readable and executable (7,5,5).
This could explain why you get the 200 status w/o the .htaccess but the 403 error with it.
Good luck!

Increase in Crawl Errors
I had a problem with a lot of crawl errors (on Google Search Console) a while back, due to the removal of a shopping cart. I thought I'd dealt with this & Google seemed to agree (see attached pic), but now they're all back with a vengeance! The crawl errors are all the old shop pages that I thought I'd made clear weren't there anymore. The sitemaps (using Yoast on Wordpress to generate these) all updated 16 Aug but the increase didn't happen till 18-20. How do I make it clear to Google that these pages are gone forever?

Pagination/Crawl Errors
Hi, Ive only just joined SEO moz and after they crawled my site they came up with 3600 crawl errors mostly being duplicate content and duplicate urls. After researching this it soon became clear it was due to on page pagination and after speaking with Abe from SEO mozhe advised me to take action by getting our developers to implement rel=”next” & rel=”prev” to review. soon after our developers implemented this code ( I have no understanding of this what so ever) 90% of my keywords I had been ranking for in the top 10 have dropped out the top 50! Can anyone explain this or help me with this? Thanks Andy
