In today's WTF dev moment:

Was getting a 403 Forbidden error on just one page of a site. Checked every possible log, Cloudflare settings, rebooted my router, tried different browsers, rolled back code, utterly wracked my brain.

Finally, finally found the Mod_Security logs complaining about "PHP Information Leakage". This was a dev site where displaying errors is turned on. There was a PHP warning on this page, and Mod Security was protecting me from myself apparently.

Probably a good thing that servers are not located *in* the office for most of us. So we can't throw them out the window in rage, flip the desk and go become a hermit in the forest.

😆

@syntaxseed though that does sound pretty good right now
