Magento

Hi

I have

godaddy: Grid hosting

PHP 5

Installing: Full Release ver 1.2.0 - Added December 29, 2008

Once all full package loaded up to the server, I switch off my computer to set up installation the next day and when I went to my domain I had this message

“Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an Error Document to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.33 Server at wwwmydomain.com Port 80”

Could someone please help?

Kind Regards

Charles

I’ve got the same problem here.

After an upgrade : 1.1.8 to 1.2.0

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/2.0.59 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.59 OpenSSL/0.9.8g Server at *** Port 80

--edit--

I checked again the apache logs. There was a problem with chmod on my .htaccess.
Problem resolved.

Hi again

All informations you need about chmod (permission on files and folders) are here :
http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/magento_filesystem_permissions

You’ll see : there is two way to do it : ssh access on your server or your ftp client.

Try to set chmod 777 to start. If that don’t work, try 774.
I’m here if you need more informations.

Hope that will work for you too.

This is weird. I followed the instructions on that page, (http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/1_-_installation_and_configuration/magento_filesystem_permissions) It did fix the problem of the “forbidden” issue but now my stylesheet is offline.

Interestingly, this only happens on subpages, the home page is fine. And they load verrrry slowly.

I’ll post a fix here in case anyone else encounters the same issue.

Got it.

Careful when migrating to other servers on a subfolder. You’ll need to make sure your relative paths are intact.

In this case, the head.phtml file under app/design/frontend/(TEMPLATE)/default/template/page/html/head.phtml had a root relative path to the css and js files (e.g. “/skin/mycss.css") I had to change it to “subdir/skin/mycss.css”
