[morganson]

PLEASE HELP.

www.online-aromatherapy.com

Uploaded files ok, the files are on my server and I even think that they are in the right place. Because I can veiw them from the Direct Admin File Manager.

But every time I try to look at the website I get this message:

403 Forbidden

Forbidden
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.

Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.online-aromatherapy.com Port 80


PLEASE HELP
I don't know what I've done, but it must be something simple.
THANK YOU

Either the files are in the wrong folder, or the name of the start-page of your website is wrong.

The files should be in the public_html folder.

The name of the start-page of your website should be index.html (or index.htm).
Also remember that linux filenames are case-sensitive. So index.html is a different file than for example INDEX.html.

Also, you have posted this question in two different forum groups. One is usually enough

That did the trick

Thank you for the tip.

It's pretty obvious when you think about it.

Everything is working now.
