403 Forbidden Error When Using Virtual Environment in Jupyter Notebook (Version Below 7)

I’m encountering a 403 Forbidden error when trying to use a virtual environment with Jupyter Notebook (version below 7). The error occurs while attempting to configure jupyter_nbextensions_configurator. Here is the error traceback:

[jupyter_nbextensions_configurator] wrote error: 'Forbidden'
    Traceback (most recent call last):

I have tried several solutions but have not been able to resolve the issue. I’m using a Jupyter Notebook version below 7 within a virtual environment, and the problem occurs when I attempt to set up a specific nbextension.

If anyone has experienced this issue or has any suggestions on how to fix it, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I’m having the same issue when running something like jupyter-notebook --no-browser --ip=0.0.0.0 --port 8888 on a server. The notebook still works though
