Topic: Delete User redirects to different page

Sorry if this has been asked before and I have searched the forums with no avail..
When I click delete a user in the admin panel I get a redirect to my home page(non forum) instead of a delete confirmation. User remains intact??
I only had CaptchaBox installed as a mod, I think, it has been a while. I even uninstalled the CaptchaBox  but no good.. As a last ditch effort I replaced all forum files with new fresh ones, still does not delete users only redirects. What am I doing wrong..

Running PunBB 1.2.15
Operating system: Linux
PHP: 4.4.3
MySQL 4.1.22-standard


Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Delete User redirects to different page

Aha
HTTP/1.x 403 Forbidden
It sounds like your host has some bad mod_security rules and that you set your homepage as the place to redirect 403 errors to. wink

Re: Delete User redirects to different page

Thanks smartys, I talked to my host and they said:

We have removed the mod_security rule that was causing the issue.

Please try now and let us know the results. If the issue persists, please let us know the exact steps to recreate the error.

You can disable mod_security for your domain by adding the line "SecFilterEngine Off" in your htaccess  file.

although they did this, the issues are still present any ideas on what I need to tell them? I have outlined the steps for them to see error...
Thanks again

Smartys this is what I am getting now with the htaccess modified:

Bad HTTP_REFERER. You were referred to this page from an unauthorized source. If the problem persists please make sure that 'Base URL' is correctly set in Admin/Options and that you are visiting the forum by navigating to that URL. More information regarding the referrer check can be found in the PunBB documentation
