Htaccess File Not Readable Having trouble

AsiaB · October 13th, 2003, 9:09 PM

I'll be quite honest, I don't know the slightest thing about running a domain or anything deeper than HTML. I uploaded my index page to my public_html folder (properly named index.html) but when I go to my actual domain (http://www.lovestain.nu), it gives me a Forbidden 403 error. My erorr log says the htaccess file can't be read. Does it have something to do with the file permissions or what?

(I feel so extremely newbie-ish :dongget: )

I would say yes to that. If you get an error that .htaccess cannot be read, then you should check the permissions for that file. Do you need the .htaccess file at this time?

Regardless, make sure that the file is world readable. At the minimum chmod 444.
