Hi,
I've tried SA on a Joomla 1.5 website but I'm getting 403 access denied errors for some but not all of my urls, even tho' these urls are available by browsing:

My robots.txt is as follows:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /administrator/
Disallow: /cache/
Disallow: /components/
Disallow: /includes/
Disallow: /installation/
Disallow: /language/
Disallow: /libraries/
Disallow: /media/
Disallow: /modules/
Disallow: /plugins/
Disallow: /templates/
Disallow: /tmp/
Disallow: /xmlrpc/

Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Eddie

Your web host is probably banning the application from scanning it. Increase the delay between connection in the Preferences.

Here is the solution that worked for me :

Add the following to your htaccess:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

As a point of reference I am on Hostgator and the problem seemed to spontaneously occur after it had already been working fine about a week ago.

I hope this helps.
