When you save the HikaShop configuration, much data are passed in POST, and it's possible that mod_security detect that as a security fail. Try to configure it to allow more data.

Since I've never had this problem with any other Joomla page or extension, I assume that the error is related to how HikaShop is posting the config form or the size of the form data.

I have update the "config | config" view in order to change the "enctype" of the form. Without "enctype", the form use the default value : "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" Code: <form action="index.php?option=<?php echo HIKASHOP_COMPONENT ?>&amp;ctrl=config" method="post" name="adminForm" id="adminForm"> But this enctype does not allow file upload so I have put a little javascript at the bottom of the page in order to have some "retrocompatibility".

Will you create a permanent fix for this problem? It is triggered by MULTIPART_INVALID_QUOTING check in Apaches mod_security, and it is not browser related. There is most likely an error in the extremely complex form used to submit configuration changes in HikaShop. One solution could be to create a separate form for uploading the default image, maybe use a popup or an iframe. Then there is no need to use multipart/form-data on the main configuration form. Hope you will look into this and make a permanent fix. I suspect that this error occured after my hosting partner updated their Apache and mod_security installation in May, and afaik they use the recommended settings for mod_security - at least for the relevant parts. Therefore I suspect that more people may experience this error in the future and you should really create a permanent fix sooner than later.

We're not sure yet about what to do. So far you've been the only one with that problem so it seems more to be a problem related to your server configuration than something which has to be fixed by default in HikaShop. The solution Jerome provided is a correct workaround and it's done as a view override so you can even update without loosing it. Also, that config view won't change much in the future so I don't see any issue with doing like that. If more users have that problem in the future, we'll probably change the image upload.

I just want to say that I have exactly the same problem - it comes up with the message "You don't have permission to access /administrator/index.php on this server" after I'm trying to save configuration. Joomla 2.5.7 + Hikashop Essential (switched over from VirtueMart...) host provider - the same as MichaelBentsen [ www.domainnameshop.com/faq.cgi?id=257&se...ion=a6b9acb5f536e0cd](http://www.domainnameshop.com/faq.cgi?id=257§ion=24&session=a6b9acb5f536e0cd) I've tried to solve this the way Jerome said (well, I think so), but no result. Actually I've got familiar with HTML coding just 3 weeks ago, when I decided to launch my site on my own, so up til now it went quite well with the help of this forum. But now I give up... Jerome, can I send my credentials to you in order you sort out all this thing? Thank you! Last edit: 14 years 1 month ago by [Batas](/forum/user/9486-batas "View Batas's Profile").
