[Solved] 403 Forbidden Error

[Seekier]

Ok, I think something is wrong with my account because my two website are both throwing 403 error at the moment.

My website:

http://5.5media.eu.org

https://fzmedia.eu.org

 

At first I think it to be files and folders permission so i checked all the files and folders but permission are all set correctly. (Folders:0755 & files:0644)

More so I proceed to renamed my .htaccess file to see maybe .htaccess is the corrupted file but still same error

 

I will be grateful if the admins can take a look to see what could be wrong and how to fix it.

 

Thanks in advance

Your .htaccess files are causing this. I renamed them to htaccess.old and its working.

 

Specifically, you disabled directory listings in the .htaccess file, but didn't provide an index.php for those domains. If there's no index and you disable directory listings, you get a forbidden error.

This is so weird, like seriously both website working earlier this morning and I can't remembered disabling directory listings in the .htaccess file.

 

As I said in my first post, the first thing I did immediately the 403 error pop out was checking all files and folders permission and also renaming .htaccess file

 

I changed the .htaccess file back to it original name because when accessing the address of my websites, it was throwing out Cpanel files and folders like the one I am seeing now after you renamed my .htaccess files instead of the frontend.

 

Ps: I did mybb installation from Softaculous this morning and later deleted it. I am curious, could it be softaculous did that changes to my account?

 

Sorry bad english

Yes Softaculous could've made those changes. A lot of forum software comes with a custom .htaccess designed to secure the forum software, however if other apps share a domain with it, they often need to be modified to make them compatible.
