Technote Details :: Issue when using a PHAKT2 database connection: HTTP Error Code 403 Forbidden
Issue
When creating a new database connection using the PHP_ADODB server model, I get an error message saying: HTTP Error Code 403 Forbidden.
Reason
This may happen because of one of the following causes:
You have a restrict/deny access rule defined using the .htaccess file or any other method for the site root folder or for a parent folder (authentication restriction, access deny restriction)
The testing server does not support the POST method for the pages in your site.
Solution
To solve this issue, verify the Web security configurations and restrictions on your testing server and adjust them so that the ADODB scripts can be executed correctly.
