Error 403 when posting on Facebook a Joomla URL for multilingual site

727 views Asked by At

I have a multilingual Joomla3 website

www.mekako.fr

the server redirects to french language by default (or Italian/English it detects those lagnuages)

The problem arises when I try to posto to a Facebook wall/page a link to www.mekako.fr, it gives a "403 access denied", if I post www.mekako.fr/fr or www.mekako.fr/it it is ok... We are on Windows Hosting, no .htaccess, but web.config is used...

Any explanation? is the "root url" unavailable because it redirects to the correct language?

Thanks, following the links you provided I found a hint about GZIP compression... Disabled GZIP compression in Joomla and everything is working perfectly now...
