apache responding 403 to wordpress tinyMCE js requests

there is something strange happening on my server. It has worked like a charm with wordpress from 2.3 version, and I update it regularly.
Today I updated to wordpress 4.1 and, when I tried to write a post, I found the tinyMCE editor completely unloaded.
I then checked the console and I have a bunch of 403 errors, for requests like

infact my hosting answers with a courtesy page (that doesn’t even explain what’s happening).

the strange thing is that if i try

(without the ending ?v=20140527&wp-mce-4107-20141130 ! ) I can download the file regoularly.

What’s happening? what can I do?
I have already reinstalled it, and the problem occours with firefox and chrome, so I think it’s a server issue.

And, also, if the first link works to you, maybe it’s not working because I’m behind a proxy? but,again, why?

  1. Yes, The first link works for me. I am not sure why it is not working for you.

    Clear your browser cache to rule out your browser as a cause

    Check you webserver access logs. Access logs will have a response status for every request. It may be possible that some one is overwriting the 200 OK sent by apache

  2. I had the same problem.
    It was a security setting on the server, blocking urls with variables.
    Wordpress inludes tinymce files with variable in the end:

    wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/modern/theme.min.js?wp-mce-4203-20150730
    

    call your hoster to fix it

  3. it seems that the problem is … Adblock.

    Disable it, clean the browser cache, and reload the page. The WordPress Editor will suddently appear.
