Hi,

Since this morning at 4:00 am, I have had a "client denied by server configuration" problem on all my domains. The denial of access is random, in a minute I can be denied several times or not...

I tried disabling modsecurity, did a plesk repair, reboot apache without that changing anything.

Here is the type of error in the apache log:
[Fri May 26 11:02:56.561462 2023] [:error] [pid 16573:tid 139805815928576] [client 40.77.167.124:36854] client denied by server configuration: /var/www/vhosts/xxxxxxxx.com/httpdocs/en -gb

As if it no longer took into account the .htaccess.

FPM by Apache


Best regards
