    403 forbidden

    Hi, I'm getting a:

    "You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/myfeed.php on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

    error when I try to open a document I uploaded. My domain is http://caesetia.x10.mx/.

    Thank you!

    Check the permissions on that file. You can do this using Cpanel's file manager tool with the permissions icon. They should be 644 for normal files

    Re: 403 forbidden

    Should I be changing it to 644? Or 777?

    Eta: It's not letting me change permissions. Everything's set to 000, and when I try to change it, I get "FileOp Failure on: /home/caesetia/public_html/cgi-bin: Permission denied".

    Help?

    The cgi-bin is disabled on all free hosting accounts due to security reasons. Please refer to this correct plan comparison, and it'll tell you what is available in the free hosting plan http://x10hosting.com/free-hosting-comparison.

    Oh. Well that explains things! Thank you!

    ...except it won't let me do anything now? When I go into my file manager, there's literally nothing there. :/

    The file is a PHP file, not a cgi file, you just went to the wrong directory for that. Uploading to the public_html folder may fix this. If not, post back. If you really need cgi, as calistoy said, x10 hosting free is not for you.
