Posted - 09/28/2017 : 09:15:37 Hello, I has following instructions on setting up the UPS shipping option and when I got to vsadmin/adminupslicense.php I clicked the Agree button and then "Next" and then I got a 403 forbidden page error, (You don't have permission to access /Jan-San/vsadmin/adminupslicense.php on this server.) - Any thoughts on how I might get this corrected?

Can you have a word with your host, tell them that you have a permissions problem accessing adminupslicense.php and they should be able to fix it for you.

Andy ECT Moderator 95440 Posts	Posted - 09/28/2017 : 10:13:35 It should be fine installing it there - it doesn't necessarily need to go into the root. Can you try to change the permissions on that file to 744 and let us know if it makes a difference? Andy Please feel free to review / rate our software

Posted - 09/28/2017 : 10:28:32 Andy, I set the permissions to 744 - No Luck! still hangs up on the third phase of UPS registration. I already have the UPS access Key, account #, username and password for my client. Is there any place I can set this up manually? Or what would you suggest my step would be? S Jones

Have you tried clearing the browser history / cache to make sure your not getting a cached version of the page. Also if you are changing the file permission using a ftp program login to the cpanels file manager and check that the permissions are set correctly there.

I was able to look at the mod_security logs and see where this script was throwing an error. Anyway I have it working now. I have the luxury of having a dedicated server so I could diagnose and fix this without the host getting involved. Once I found which mod_sec rule was throwing the error, I just white listed the mod_sec rule and boom! I was up and running. I have included part of the mod_sec error just so you can see in case anyone else experiences this type of problem. Pattern match ....<snip> S Jones
