Hello nicholas,
I am sure you are tired of getting so many similar questions. But I have just one more.
I am using RSFORM together with their plugin for paypal. I believe this is very similar to other payment situations
where paypal is blocked to send code a payment has been made Similar issue
Since this is NOT a store thing ie: VM I am unsure what the syntax for editing the htaccess would be for rsform.
I was curious if you knew the correct line I need to place in the allowed exceptions for my simple form and rs form componet / plugin ? etc to allow.
The only thing I could come up with was: plugins/system/rsfppaypal/rsfppaypal.php
Just not sure if am correct? or need something else

Thank you as always ..

Let's not assume that the problem is in .htaccess, WAF exceptions are easier. Go to plugins and disable System - Admin Tools. Does the problem still occur? If it does, it's in .htaccess. If not, check the Security Exceptions Log to see what is being blocked. Please post the entire block message here and we can craft an exception to permit it. Don't forget to enable Admin Tools, we don't want it turned off any longer than necessary.

If the problem really is in .htaccess, go to Joomla!'s Global Settings page and set error reporting to "development". Then try to recreate the error. We're trying to get it to tell us what file is being blocked. Once again, don't leave that set to development any longer than necessary.

If you don't get any more information, we will need to check the server's error log to see what file is being blocked.

I will interject based on my experience developing and testing payment plugins. You can temporarily set access to the form to the Special access level only (Super Users) and use PayPal Sandbox to test this, as long as the plugin you are using supports PayPal Sandbox (Sandbox uses a different server to validate transactions). This lets you run transactions without incurring any fees. Otherwise try using a test form with 10 cent transactions for testing purposes. Now I'll let you and Dale handle the rest of the details of the ticket :)
