Hi all
I setup a very basic site and im gettieng :

You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Im new to this and the url is www.evedaly.com and it was working so ive updated this and know getting the above error.
I put every thing into the public_html and that contains index.html and the images folder which all works in dreamweaver and when i try the files in directadmin there all ok. Allso folders and files have a 755 set permission added a .htaccess and set options +indexes still the same.
Any help appreciated as i have to get this up tomorrow.
Cheers
 
Make sure the public_html is chmod 755.

What does the error log say right after you try the site?

Not having an index.html file is the most common reason for this error and the first thing I thought of but you said you already had that.

Learn from this and give more accurate descriptions of problems when you need help.

No you did NOT have index.html. You had Index.html which is something completely different. Had you said you had Index.html in your first post I could have told you what your problem was in my first post instead of wasting your time and my time.

Please give accurate information in the future if you want your problem fixed in a timely manner.
