403 Forbidden?

[Arthur Gilbert]

Just started web2py.  Going thro' Massimo di Pierro's 5 lectures on you tube.  Making good progress, excited about the system and everything working well.  BUT, when I went back to it, today, I clicked on Admin (of the welcome page) I got a long delay and then "403 FORBIDDEN". The page is showing "http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/default/index" as it should. I am not aware of changing anything on my system, I am using xubuntu and Firefox. Web2py version 2.14.6-stable+timestamp.2016.05.10.00.21.47.

Please help,
Thanks.

You normally get that is you fail too many logins. It resets itself after 15 minutes.

Thanks for reply Massimo and especial thanks for making all this available; I like it much better than Rails. 

I don't think failed logins was the problem.  I have now cured it by removing and re-installing web2py (after saving all the copies of my working though your lectures).

Hello,

I am having a similar problem with my admin page of my domain at https://www.positivethoughtsdaily.com/admin. I initially accessed my admin console and failed too many password attempts. Then I began seeing a "Forbidden 403" page instead of the admin password entry page. I typically access my admin page via the web2py interface through port 80. Here is what I have tried so far:

1. I contacted PythonAnywhere, my hosting service, and they provided me with code to reset my admin password. I did this.
   
2. I removed and reinstalled web2py and updated to the latest version as Howard did, but the "403 Forbidden" page is still there.
3. It has now been two days since I was initially locked out, so it appears that waiting is not working either.

Any suggestions to try next? Apologies if I am missing something simple here.

Thanks,

Erick

Look for hosts.deny in the admin app .... applications/admin/private/hosts.deny

HI Erick,

Can't help BUT your post made me realise I had this problem after using PythonAnywhere..

I have a similar problem

I am running web2py on windows 10 machine on azure.

When I insert URL someurladdress.si I get an error 403, but If I insert someurladdress.si:8000/bilbanstevci it all works fine.

Any suggestions? 

My web2py start line is python web2py.py -i 0.0.0.0. -a pass

If I added ports or any other IP (like ipconfig IP) it did not work. Not even from server's browser
