403 Error for all Permissions

    I recently added a new PHP package to my website. I want to install it, so I manually entered the /install path into the browser. I am able to access the index.php from the browser, but just when the index.php redirects it to .../go.php, I get a 403 Error. I tried all permissions, I have given all the permission to the install folder. But still I am not able to access the files inside install folder except for index.php

    I made sure that index.php and all the other files in install folder have same permissions.

    I am a newbie and came to know that .htaccess file too will have some relation to this, so the .htaccess file of my website is below

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
    Code (markup):
    Thats it

    Now I want to install the package, I am not able to.

    I infered a little more from the error. The go.php in the installation folder I was talking about is accessing other files in its folder with in itself like functions. I mean, the go.php is the URL shown in the browser, but it is trying to execute scripts from other files like go-admin.php, go-dbinit.php, go-save.php. So I guess the go.php is not able to access these, so what should I do in order to give the go.php access to other files in the directory?

    I don't have access to those error logs as I am using a private free hosting service.

    The got the above inference when I installed the same PHP package on my local PC. -> go.php not able to access the other files.

    What kind of package you want to install through php? Is any root privileges involved to install your package?

    I want to install a package which shows stats for games using logs from those games. I dont know whether it needs any root privileges. I have very well installed bbpress, phpBB, SMF, my custom pages, with the same host with out any problems. Now I want to install this package getting this error.
