Problem with htaccess and 403 errors

[Renlok]

I've made a script and the .htacces file has the contents

# secure htaccess file
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

# disable directory browsing
Options All -Indexes

# disable access to logs/template files
<Files ~ "\.(log|tpl)$">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</files>

 

but on some servers the Options All -Indexes line will cause a 403 error to be thrown when using the install script and ive no idea why? 

 

an example or the url that will throw it is http://yoursite.com/install/install.php?step=2&URL=http://yoursite.com/&EMail=sales@yoursite.com&cats=1&n=1

 

I could really do with some help  :-\

I experience working with some apache web hosters that if the file permission is not set to 755, it will return 500 internal error or 403 forbidden. Try setting all files in your server to 755 or much better consult with your web host if they have particular requirements when it comes to file permission.
