XML request error: Forbidden (403)

I know that this problem is in many forums and also here... but I really do not find a solution and my hoster is telling me that the problem is not a server but a script problem.

Here is the error message after clicking the button for the filemanager:

The server didn't send back a proper XML response. Please contact your system administrator.

Ok, so nobody can help?

Not one answer within weeks?

I've seen this problem in a lot of forums but even the developers seem to be clueless about that...

Check your web server's log files to see exactly which directory or file cannot be accessed.

Go to file /fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html and comment the line 106

//sUrl += '&uuid=' + new Date().getTime() ;

it's works for me.

I posted a work around for it here.

I know there is a configuration setting on php or apache that will make this work but I have not been able to find it yet.

FCKeditor works fine on my test enviroment but, when I move it into production it stops allowing to upload or select images.

This was my Error Message:

the server didn't send back a proper xml response
XML request error: Forbidden (403)

Solution:
1. Open IIS
2. Select [ Properties ] for the website with problems
3. click [ Home Directory ] Tab
4. change [ Execute permissions ] to 'none' click [ Apply ]
5. change [ Execute permissions ] back to 'Scripts and Executables' click [ Apply ]
6. Close everything
7. prey
8. Try to use the image feature from FCKEditor

This worked for me.

I will change the world if you give me source code
