403 Forbidden all files

[yugiohfan968]

Hey everyone, I accidentally moved public_html into public_ftp, I then moved it out of public_ftp, not I get Error 403 Forbidden on all the files and directories on my site. Can anyone explain how to fix that?


My site: http://www.2011chan.x10.mx

Hello,

Please check that your files are CHMOD 644 and directories 755. Also, please post the contents of the .htaccess file in the public_html directory. If using cPanel's file manager you'll need to enable the viewing of dotfiles to see it.

Thanks.

.htaccess is empty, and all the permissions are what they're supposed to be.

Okay. If you PM me a username and password I'll take a look for you if you want. That will probably be easiest.

[yugiohfan968]

I can't PM anyone, I get that message about not having privileges to perform this action. I don't trust people who ask for passwords anyway.

STP's one of the more trustworthy members of x10's community paragon teams, I highly doubt he'd be here to do anything malicious. Lord knows I would have a field day with his ISP if he did, let alone our CEO :P

I'll see what I can do on it from here, although to be brutally honest I've never seen a 403 error such as this one, so this might be a bit to try and fix.

Fixed, and it's not one STP would've been able to do much with even with a username/pass. Somehow your public_html's owner got messed up; part of the security involved there -apparently- is to deny anyone access if the owner gets improperly set or something.

Guess it did its job, it did indeed deny -everyone- access when it was improperly set. Bad news is that meant you too


I've got this one on my notepad for fixes later in case the same issue would pop up on another account, but for now it should be set to fly once again

Thanks, you really helped!
