Problem
I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error on my web account! Why can't I see the files that I have uploaded?
Solution
There are a few very important things to check to troubleshoot this problem!
public_html folder |
|---|
Make sure your Folder structure looks like this! /home/abc1234/public_html/ The public_html directory is a special directory that the webserver looks at and serves your files from. If you are missing that directory, the web server won't know where to look for your files. |
Index file |
|---|
Make sure that you have an index file! The web server looks for a index.html, index.htm or index.php in your directories. Without those files the web server doesn't know what you want to do when you ask for a directory. |
