error 403: Forbidden

Post by GumboYaYa »

Hi,

I uploaded the whole Seredipidy folder into my webserver directory and installed it. Everything works fine!

Since I want Seredipidy to be the first thing that is shown when the URL is browsed, I redirected my domain directly to the Seredipidy folder.
But from then on I get an "error 403: Forbidden", as soon as I browse my URL.

What permissions do I have to set for the Serendipidy folder and/or the index.php, to make it work again?

Thanks in advance for any help ...

If you get a 403 message it means you might have a .htaccess file blocking access or have set any file/dir permissions incorrectly.

All files+dirs need to be readable for your webserver user. That's something like 755 or 644...
