help!
one of our sites is down, moth is in spain, and rebooting the server did not good at all. here's the error message:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.james-fisher.co.uk Port 80any ideas?
thanks!

looks like the index-file is missing.
is there a page called index.htm on there?

yes, i've just realised that moth had the client change the dns to a new server without moving the site.
grr...
well, at least it's fixable!
thanks, fellas.
:D

*pulling out hair now
okay, so i've now got the site on the right server, but the index page isn't being recognised.
it might be a problem with the initial php script on the index page, but i don't know.
:(

is the error still 'forbidden' ?
- Timson0
try making the dir public.
open up a blanc document in notepad and write 'Options Indexes' in it.
than save it as .htaccess and put in on the server.

nah. no error now, just blank page. that's what leads me to believe there's a php error. can i mail you, undo?
and cheers, timson. i'll have a look at that.

is php on?
put this in a blank page and save it on server:
visit the page and it will tell you about your php install, if it's running

ack, ate my code
< ? php
phpinfo ();

yr a bad man moth,
hows yr holiday?
- determinedmoth0
the holiday was fine! was at a friends wedding in Spain. I'm exhausted though, and in trouble with the grooms' 6 sisters for reasons I'm confused by :/
i didn't really set traps. I asked the client to do this weeks ago and they just ignored me. I had no idea they were going to do it yesterday!

- determinedmoth0
yes.. i knew she would, after a little bit of blind panic.
