I was trying to install the mxBB addon for phpBB, then suddenly I got a "403 Forbidden" when installing.
What happens was, I fill in the details, and clicked install.
The page refreshes. Nothing changes. Filled in the details again. Clicked install.
Then I get a "403 Forbidden".
Since CHMOD 644 works as 666, I don't think it's a CHMOD issue.
I asked at their support forum and they said 403 has got to do with the server.
Then they mentioned about mod_security.
Is mod_security turned on? And how would it affect my installation? It's just a standard MOD for phpBB.

mod_security is part of the security system here at L2P.
Debugging the issue will require a support ticket so you had best open one up.

I remember Trel giving me some code to put on an .htaccess to shut mod_security off, I was getting some 403's too. The server suspected the users were trying to attack the server with an SQL injection, because some posts contained the word 'SELECT' 
| Code: |
SecFilterEngine off
|
Of course, that's just temporary to finish the installation and then remove it from your .htaccess, because mod_security is a great security asset to have on your site, without which, it could make an easy target for hacker assaults.

Thanks Voldemort. That did the work!
Now on to deleting the .htaccess.
