Hi, I purchased one of those unlock iphone websites and I'm having trouble getting it to work. I edited all the content that was emailed to me. There were several text files that I just needed to change my name/account id and so on. It also came with images but I didn't have to touch those. I used filezilla to upload the edited content to the host. I have one folder so I dragged and dropped what I needed. After the files are finished uploading, I go to check out the site and I get "403 Forbidden" Yes I do have the domain and hosting set up. This is my first try at builiding a website so I am not sure what I'm doing wrong? The files are all in php and the images are png. Please help. Thanks.
usually you would upload the contents of the folder instead of the folder itself. Anyways, right click the folder and look for CHMOD/Permissions you will probably want to adjust the permissions to read 755 or 777. I would also try uploading the folder contents to filezilla instead of the whole folder and see if it works that way.
Don't put permissions 777. AS this is essentialy giving public total access to your files. 755 should be sufficient. But this also depends on the actual configuration of the server...
As a starter , most probably you did mistake on the folder where you are uploaded.Make sure that you are uploaded the files to public_html directory
It's possible that you are trying to access a directory on your webiste without a default page (such as index.html). For instance: http://www.mysite.com/ Code (markup): or http://www.mysite.com/myproject/ Code (markup): If you try to load websites with no default page in place you may get a forbidden message. If this is the case, try connecting to your website and include the file you are trying to load as well. Such as: http://www.mysite.com/myproject/mypage.php Code (markup): Notice the mypage.php at the end. In cases like this, if there is no default page in place, the browser will try to load all the files as a listing and most web hosts will have this blocked which is why you can get a forbidden message. This is only a guess, but worth a try.
Are you sure you uploaded them to public_html? Sorry, if that's a stupid question. Try upload blabla.txt to public_html And open yourdomain.com/blabla.txt See if something come up
You must open your root folder in filezilla ad select all the files and folders that are in et.Then you copy them in the public html folder on your server.The index page must be placed directly in the public html folder, not as content of some other folder that you copy.
