How to Fix Random 403 Errors
December 29th, 2006 by Andrew WellsFor the longest time, I was getting random 403 Forbidden Errors and the error log would say “client denied by server configuration”. This error happened when a lot of pages were viewed in a short amount of time, or when a page was viewed with several dynamic images. This problem was common in picture viewers such as Gallery where some images didn’t load or the whole page was a 403 error page. Sometimes refreshing the page fixed the problem, but it was still annoying. Read this entry to see what causes it and how to fix it.
