I just recently began receiving a 403 error on batch upload to my PhotoQ site. I know this particular problem is described in the troubleshooting document, but adding the mod_security directives listed there to my htaccess file did not help my situation. Upon upload using the batch uploader I receive a 403 error and disabling the batch uploader provides a workaround, just as described in the troubleshooting document, but mod_security does not appear to be the issue.
The upload handler edit.php returns the following raw response:
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

<p>You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/edit.php

I've tried modifying the permissions for edit.php as well as the photoQ upload and cache folders but with no success. Nothing has changed on my server that I'm aware of. I checked php.ini for any strange changes to upload or memory limits and found nothing unusual.
I really feel like this problem is identical to the troubleshooting issue and I truly apologize if I'm missing something obvious and am simply cluttering the forum with redundant issues. If anyone has run across this particular issue caused by something other than a mod_security problem, any information would be greatly appreciated.
