I have been having this problem on Joomla 1.5 for quite a while now but didn't bothered about it since I can manually edit the configuration.php file. I didn't have this problem when I was using Joomla 1.0 though. Anyway when I go into the backend and try to change and save the global configuration I get a 500 Internet Server Error. Here is the full error I get:
Quote:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@mysite.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


Now I want to disable user registration, but I can't find the value in the configuration.php. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have the same problem. I've posted this issue here, but seems no one able to answer - leave me no choice except edit it manualy :(

I also got problem with joomla 1.5 when I use JA Teline as my default template - unable to submit article from front-end (but no problem at all with joomla 1.0) - I think we need to wait for joomla 1.5.3 ;)

Does anyone know what is causing this? I know it might be my server configuration. But then what is variable in configuration.php that enables or disables user registration?

I just installed Joomla 1.5.2 and also facing the same error. The only work around is to edit the configuration.php file manually. Anyone knows what is going on? Is this a bug or just a server configuration error?

I am also facing similar issue about saving any setting in the global configuration. It shows- Forbidden You don't have permission to access /administrator/index.php on this server.

So is it something with 1.5 or with shared hosting server? If there is chomd changes, can some one give the link of the article where its been stated to what files need to be changed and their respective chmod settings. Like a general list of files and folders to be changed before doing anything further thru the admin panel.

Regards,

Here's what works for me. I'm using Joomla 1.5.3, SEF: on, Apache mod_rewrite; on. Just add this line to your .htaccess.

SecFilterEngine Off

Enjoy

Wow that works!! I've given up hope and along you come with such a simple solution. Thank you very much. BTW do you have any idea what caused the problem or what SecFilterEngine does?

This disables mod_security.

mod_security is a special firewall type of module integrated into Apache. The exact implications of disabling it are being looked into by the "Security team" at the moment.

http://www.modsecurity.org/ for details of precisely what it does.

THANK YOU!!! This works great; I've been struggling with this for several days & even did a clean install and then an upgrade to 1.5.4 to no avail. This simple change made all the difference; thanks for the ingenious workaround!

I have added the suggested code to .htaccess and it still doesn't work. Are there any other solutions to this problem?

Also have this problem

Any change to global config leads to the destruction of my confiuration.php.

I tried the .htaccess but that doesn't seem to make much difference.

Any other ideas?

I went thru the back end in the cpanel and manually adjusted the settings. It's not that difficult too!

I have had the same problem. It seemed to happen suddenly. It seemed be after I backed up my site as a zip archive on my server. All the files in my public.html folder where Joomla lives didn't change. I was using 1.5.6 and updated to 1.5.7 hoping that might fix it, it didn,t. I had to change configuration.php file to put my site back on line.

This issue is why did it happen and how can it be fixed, or is there something I have missed? It seems a few people have had this problem.

I moved my site to a new hosting provider that only deals with Joomla and now the problem is fixed. I'm not sure on the details but I was told it has something to do with the server settings. Check with your host dude and good luck.

I contacted my server, Start Logic, with the following response

We have updated your .htaccess file by inserting :
### MOD Security ###
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Now the the Global Configuration update is being saved. Please check it on your end.

I checked and it is working perfectly.

Good day everyone

Had the same problem, but in my case I could not save to Global Config, Could not upload any images and could not install new extensions.

After I read this article

http://docs.joomla.org/Cannot_save_Glob ... on_changes

I tried to upload eXtplorer without luck

So I used filezilla to cmod all my folders from root to 777

Then I could save global config, upload, images and install extensions again.

I have installed eXtplorer and so that all my folders owner is nobody.

Now I need to find out how to change the owner and cmod back to original
Any ideas please?

Has there been any resolution to this in 3.0.3 yet? I'm having the same issue but changing the htaccess file doesn't work.
