HTTP-error 403 - access denied

[Noname]

Hi

I have installed the version 2.1.2 and everything looks that it works fine, except for search engine friendly URL:s (http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum/s)

If I enable URL rewrite and click on any categories I get HTTP-error 403 - access denied or something, what can be wrong ?

There may be a problem with mod rewrite on your host.
Who is your host and which plan do you have with them?

Thanks for answer. Ok there can be something with the host rules for mod rewrite, it's a swedish webhost så I guess you cabt't read the support articel about error 403 and mod rewrite :D

It says something about that the .htaccess file is read after it has localised the dokument and the reading right gives not acess to the catalog and therefore it cant read the .htaccess file and see the rewrite rules, sounds strange, I will contact the host and see if thats the problem and if they can fix it.

An update if soemeone else has the same probem, it was my webhost server configuration that was the problem. They fixed it and now it's working.

Update 2: The problem was that the root catalog had chmod 711 and needed to be changed to 715 if someone want to know.

Thanks for keeping your thread updated.
This may come in handy for someone else.

715? Why not give group read rights?


Folder permissions should always be 755 .....
