When I click on the admin bar’s sign up link from any sub blog it gives me a 403 error.
“Forbidden,
You don’t have permission to access /wp-signup.php on this server.”

I installed Cookies for Comments and added…
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.*$
RewriteRule ^wp-signup.php – [F,L]

This is what is causing the 403 on my sub blogs, but I’m not sure what to do to fix it. This has stopped spam on my blog so I don’t want to ditch it.

Any help would be awesome! Thanks in advance!

Do you have any plugins that relate to it? Try Deactivating any plugins, so we can check that off the list.

Deactivating plugins didn’t help. I have added the following items to .htaccess. The first rule is the problem but cookies for comments plugin says to add it to stop spam blogs.

#Cookies for comments
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*XXXXXXXXXXXXX.*$
RewriteRule ^wp-signup.php – [F,L]

AND

# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .wp-signup.php*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.mysite.com. [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) http://die-spammers.com/ [R=301,L]
# END ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION
