Yahoo Small Business Hosting 403 Forbidden .php files ?

    Hello,

    I'm trying to set up form to email. I uploaded FormToEmail.php to www/htdocs but when I try to access FormToEmail.php I get a 403 Forbidden.

    http://128.121.184.185/

    I set the permissions correctly, and I don't know what else could cause the problem. When you look at the "Index of" there is an "unknown" icon next to all php files.

    Please Help,
    Thank you,
    Fuze

    It seems that your email script is trying to access "/global-bin/php.cgi/FormToEmail.php" but it seems that you do not have permissions to this file. Try put simple PHP script in your web space and check whether it is working or not. If PHP scripts are working then something is wrong in your send email script.

    Thank you for the help Kailash!

    I tried a simple php script and than a blank file ending in .php and can't open anything ending in .php.

    Yahoo Small Business support is really terrible.

    I just got this in an email from technical support:

    Could that be the reason php files don't work? Even when placed in www/htdocs/?

    I have the "UNIX Basic": http://www.att.com/gen/webhosting?pid=10491

    Thank you!

    Not sure but it could be the reason. Ask them why simple php pages are not working.
