[solved] 403 error redirecting .asp pages (web site re-coded in PHP)

[ffeingol]

We have a customer that migrated a web site from Windows/.asp to a WordPress based site. They started adding .htaccess code to redirect the old .asp pages to the new corresponding WordPress page. Any .asp page in LiteSpeed simply returns a 403 error. I've checked their .htaccess and I don't see anything that would deny the .asp pages. I've checked the cPanel httpd.conf and the LSWS settings and I don't see anything that woudl deny it there either.

Anyone have any thoughts?

TIA

Please check the error log, it should give the reason of 403.

There is nothing in the sites error_log. In the main Apache error_log the only thing is that it can't find the sites 403.shmtl page (cPanel default). There is nothing in the stderr.log and it's not getting caught by modsecurity.

Thanks

How about turning on debug logging temporarily?

 

[ffeingol]

Will do, but we'll prob. have to wait off-hours to do that. It's a fairly busy server. As soon as we can get debug log, we'll get it posted.

Just following up on this. After a log of digging through their 1000+ line .htacess file, it was an issue with the .htaccess file, not LSWS.
