i bought a kimsufi server from OVH and got the default installation with ISPConfig http://94.23.24.105/index.html HTML files are displayed fine but all PHP files are displaying a 403 forbidden error http://94.23.24.105/test.php what's wrong ?
can you go to /var/www/clients/client/log there you should find a file error.log . There you sould find errors for your site.
[Fri Jun 13 06:22:50 2014] [error] [client 108.171.90.240] client denied by server configuration: /var/www/94.23.24.105/web/test.php
Which webserver software do you use, apache or nginx? Post the errors that you find in the global webserver error.log and the ones from the error.log of the website. The global log file is e.g. in /var/log/apache2/ for the apache server and the website error log is in /var/www/yourdomain.tld/log/
This cant work as you try to use a IP address intsead of a domain name. Seems as if you accidently entered a IP address instead of a domain name into the domain field.
i do not have any domain name on this server yet. i am accessing it through its public IP. i want to ensure everything is working before i move my domain name
Did you permitted your "client" to use PHP? Did you made your "web site" PHP aware? Either or both seems missing, althrough OVH ISPConfig install is not that fresh there is nothing special/fancy on it. client and web-site refers to the ISPConfig entries in Client panel and Site panel. Best
