Hi Perch

Thanks for posting! My first thought on this one is that the word "globals" is likely considered special on your server and is tripping things up.  Are you able to change the name of the table?  Let me know :). Thanks!

Hi, Ross -

Thanks for your note. The Globals table is one I've used many times before (on this nad other servers) without problems. That said I could change the name with phpMyAdmin.

are you really using a ".shtml" file name convention, or is it really .php?

By Perchpole - March 18, 2013

Hi, Equinox -

The prolem is that there is no .shtml file anywhere on the site. Nor is any .shtml referenced from any file on the site - (not even in the htaccess file).

It's a bit of a mystery...!

UPDATE!

I have just changed the name of the table from "globals" to "settings" and hey-presto - it's working again.

I suspect the problem wasn't with the server but with the Permalinks plugin. (which you will see mentioned in the error message above.)

So, it seems you were using a reserved name for your section, so the server was trying to send you a "forbidden" notice but you don't have that error page on your server so it provided a 'not found' for a 403 (typically a reserved access issue) problem? It's cool you got it worked out.

No. As I said earlier, I use a globals table on almost every CMSB set-up I have (20+).

The difference in this case is the site has the Permalinks plugin installed.
