403 Forbidden Error with Access Pages Manager

I'm getting an 403 error while testing the Access Pages Manager. I get the 403 when I go directly to a protected page without the correct access level.

I assigned an access level to a page, selected the accessed denied page and uploaded the page. The URL that shows up for the access denied page is:

accessed_denied.php?accesscheck=%2Fadmin%2Fjournal_Test.php%3F

The %3F looked weird at the end and when I removed %3F from the end of the URL accessed_denied.php loads fine. Any suggestions? Thanks

On the page with the access rule on it you should check the URL that is set for the redirect, it might have an extra ? at the end of it.

Are you getting a 403 or 404 error when accessing the pages? A 403 is an access denied from the web server, not the pages. So if you are getting a 403 error it is probably due to an htaccess file that is preventing you from accessing these pages. A 404 error just indicates that the requested page cannot be found at that location.
