403 Forbidden?

I don't know what happened, but for some reason now on my VPS (running centos & kloxo) I can not upload a new folder, every time I upload a new folder no matter if I change the permissions appropriately I get a 403 error, intermittently does the same thing with single files as well.

Any ideas?

Thanks

 

Did you try uploading via FTP?

 

Yes, I've tried FTP.

 

Try going into SSH and verifying the ownership of the files you have uploaded. Another thing to check is .htaccess files, rename or remove them, then try visiting the page again and see if the error is still there.

I am sorry, I only know the basics of server administration. How do you check the ownership of files? Also, what do you mean by check, rename, or move the .htaccess files?

Thanks

 

Hi there,

I've reread this, and I think you also need to check your available disk space. If ssh, run this:

df -h

To check the ownership of a file, run this:

ls -lah /path/to/file/or/folder

I suggested removing the .htaccess file, because they can sometimes cause issues as well.
