Getting apache forbidden when submitting some content thro

I have been using FCK editor in my website for some time with great success.
However today a very strange thing has happened when submitting a particular article which only consists of text <p> <br/> tags and some quotes, it will only submit about 230 words before apache complains with a 403 access denied..

I have no problems on my local computer windows xp apache but on the live site this is the error
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /a_admin_/nav.php on this server.
(in fact submitting to any page in the a_admin_ folder gives the samer error.)

Apache/1.3.37 Server at http://www.byronballinagreens.org Port 80
It suggests that there is a word/words which muck up the url request!!!!

I may be wrong but it may be mod_security that sends 403 access denied.
You may need to ask your hosting provider to turn off mod_security settings on the server, you can also try to create .htaccess file with the following content to disable it:

SecFilterEngine Off

Thank you wiktor

The .htaccess solution has worked. I will now contact my provider and let them know

This solution works for me too! I think it may be in the wiki as a note or something like that.

Thank you very much!
