skyegirl Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I just purchased my domain and hosting accounts. I have set up my hosting account and uploaded my files. I cannot get access to my domain though. When I type in the url,this is what I get, Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.6dollarmillions.ws Port 80 I have tried getting support from where I purchased my hosting account to no avail. please help...if possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Have you tried putting an index file? Sometimes servers deny directory listings. Also, are there any .htaccess files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corbin Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 The web root. Look for a folder name public_html or html or sitename.com or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neogranas Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 public_html or httpdocs is usually the name. You'll also want to check permissions on folders to be 755 and most php/html files to be 644. It's also good to check if SELinux is enabled or installed.
