    Out of no where, my site just displayed thsi:

    Forbidden

    You don't have permission to access / on this server.

    Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8i DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.watch-family-guy-online.us Port 80

    What can be doen? What should i do?

    What do your webserver error logs say?

    What file permissions and ownership do your files and web directories have?

    I'm wondering if someone complained and your host went in and locked you out of your files.

    The site appears to be back up so this is all moot.

    That's not always correct and can be changed. I use Direct Admin and my logs are stored elsewhere as a default.
