[support] Strange AJAX error

[Jamie Holly]

Actually this is caused by Drupal's .htaccess file:

  # Block access to "hidden" directories whose names begin with a 
period. This
   # includes directories used by version control systems such as 
Subversion or
   # Git to store control files. Files whose names begin with a period, 
as well
   # as the control files used by CVS, are protected by the FilesMatch 
directive
   # above.
   #
   # NOTE: This only works when mod_rewrite is loaded. Without 
mod_rewrite, it is
   # not possible to block access to entire directories from .htaccess, 
because
   # <DirectoryMatch> is not allowed here.
   #
   # If you do not have mod_rewrite installed, you should remove these
   # directories from your webroot or otherwise protect them from being
   # downloaded.
   RewriteRule "(^|/)\." - [F]

You can remove that rule from .htaccess if you like. I would just make 
sure you don't have any hidden directories, like .git.
