Please note: PHP/Apache modules like Litespeed, mod_security, suhosin or others may deny LiveZilla from writing files to your webserver. Each module comes with default and custom security rules that may cause 403 errors during installation. If one of these modules is active (see PHPInfo), please go through the set of rules and deactivate/modify the rules accordingly to allow file access as required. If you don't know how to do this, please get in touch with the technical person in charge of the webserver.
