Hello,

I run a website and just today, it gave me an error: 403 forbidden error and i was told it was the permission of some of the directories at ftp. I used my filezilla to reset the permision to 755 for directories but still i'm getting the errors.Also, I have tried uploading .htaccess txt file but it didn't help. can you please give me other likely solutions?

thanks in advance

There are different subsets of the 403 error, the forbidden is just generalized. What were you doing when you got the error?

besides the directory perms, did you check the owner and group names?

Post your .htaccess to make sure there are no collisions in your .htaccess file
