Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /basic20/index.php on this server.
Apache Server at challenges Port 80

That's not part of the challenge, I don't know why that's happening for you. When I log in with fire and water the page displays "You are logged in as fire."
Is it still not working for you now?

Nope, running firefox on ubuntu BTW.
Edit, just tried on Google CHromium did not work either
But it worked on Epiphany browser. OK need to see what add-ons i can get on that browser now. Thanks

Hmmm. That's odd. Your browser shouldn't affect this at all.
What addons do you have installed on Firefox/Chrome?

firebug, Cookie Editor, Web Developer, should this make a difference? I won't be able to solve this one on Epiphany i think.

Firebug and Web Developer should be ok. I can't find any firefox addon called Cookie Editor so I can't tell if that would affect it - there's Add N Edit Cookies and Edit Cookies on https://addons.mozilla.org/
Try disabling all your addons and check if that works. If it does, then enable them one at a time to see which was causing the problems.

No luck, I have disabled everything but I still can't logon. Could a moderator/Admin guy have a look at it. Thanks

Try logging out and back in to HBH? Maybe there was some screw up with your other tracking cookies?
I just did it on Chrome and Firefox and both worked fine.... I don't know how much a moderator/administrator could help you with a problem that is on your side. Are you sure you are logging in correctly (sounds stupid, but we all make stupid mistakes)? |

Lets compare http headers, here's what you should see when you log in as fire:water:

I just tried it in FF, It works fine. The problem is on your end. I would check your options in FF and make sure you start it with no add-on enabled again.

"Nice try, but that isn't the answer we were looking for, there is another way to bypass this login, maybe it's a MySQL login that uses cookies..." I got this text after using FireBug and FireCookies |
