Fancon causes access denied error on site

    Hi,

    Plugin is excellent but I have ran into a problem when I try to enable Falcon cache. The site home page displays:

    Forbidden

    You don’t have permission to access /wp-content/wfcache/MYDOMAIN_/~~~~_wfcache.html_gzip on this server.

    Once enabled all is fine in admin but the site displays 403 permission denied with this path shown in the browser.

    The root .htaccess is modified fine. In wp-content/wfcache Falcom creates a .htaccess containing deny from all.

  • I’m getting the same thing today after running fine for weeks

    Same here. Plugin was fine for months, then 10 minutes ago caching issues. Turning off the caching system does not fix it.

    Disabling the plugin does… for now…

    If you remove the .htaccess file in the wfcache folder does everything work again?

    In addition, pages do not seem to be served from cache. See https://slneighbors.org The HTML comment does not appear in the source and the site is much slower than before I upgraded today.

    The only thing in the wfcache folder is a clear.lock file
    Only changes I made today was a plugin removal of wp-super-cache which was inactive. Plugin update of wordPress SEO, a couple of manual IP blocks and request and page views from 240 to 120.
    Turning off Falcon worked to regain access on the user side

    Update now please.

    Thanks Tim, that’s fixed the issue for me. Much appreciated.

    Before, when I removed the .htaccess it would come back straight away.

    Pleased to report pages loading incredibly fast with Falcon.

    Thanks for the reports all. Sorry about this, we added a new .htaccess file in the wfcache directory for some added security but it turns out on some configurations this causes a serious problem. Still haven’t been able to reproduce it in the lab. But we rolled back the feature and all appears to be well now.

    Thanks again for the fast reports.

    Regards,

    Mark.

    All is working again after the update.

    Thanks Tim!

    Seems to be good now
