I have a forum running IPB 3.2. When I click on a link an within about 2-3 seconds again most of the times I get a 403 error. Is there some kind of restriction in the number of connections you can make in a short time? This is quite annoying. The error log says: Code: [Wed Jan 04 16:40:29 2012] [error] [client x.x.x.x] client denied by server configuration: /var/www/xxxxxxxx.nl/web/ [Wed Jan 04 16:40:32 2012] [error] [client x.x.x.x] client denied by server configuration: /var/www/xxxxxxxx.nl/web/ What can I do about this?
Do you have apache mod_evasive installed? Thats a dos protection modile and when you set the limits for that module too low, then you can get the behaviour you described.
Please see here: http://www.faqforge.com/linux/preve...-webserver-for-debian-linux-with-mod_evasive/ you find some higher values in the comments of the article.
