Hey all,
My phpGedView page started to return error 503 "Service Temporarily Unavailable" recently. It took me a while to realize my web host, DreamHost, had implemented a change to their default security settings. They call this option "Extra Web Security." What does is turn on mod_security at the http server. The http error log has this message in it when phpGedView is viewed in a browser with this setting is on:
mod_security: Access denied with code 503. Pattern match "\\.php\\?&(cmd|command)="
There's a fix for this in the wiki, though it has a different error number:
http://wiki.phpgedview.net/en/index.php/FAQ:_Common_Error_Messages#403_Error_-_Access_Denied
(Don't copy phpGedView/index/.htaccess or phpGedView/includes/.htaccess to your phpGedView directory. Make a new phpGedView/.htaccess or the other directives in there will deny access to your page.)
BTW, I'm running phpGedView 3.3.7 on php 4.4.7.
