Thanks for your time, hope you can help me.

I'm using Kartik GridView in Yii2, locally I can export the data inside the GridView in any format (CSV, EXCEL, JSON, PDF) with no problems. But online I can't export it to EXCEL.

The default action index.php?r=gridview/export/download give the next message in browser:

You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

This sounds like .htaccess error. Look at the rewrite rules there. If you do not use htaccess, look at the config file of the http server. - Martin Dimitrov

I hope this helps:

  1. Disable the ModSecurity option for the domain in cpanel
  2. My domain was protected with Wordfense, so I followed this guide
  3. ​"Long story short, set Wordfence firewall option to learning mode on the parent site will resolve the ajax error for all of your other websites"
