Joomla 403 Error

Hello,

i have download and extracted joomla files in :

/var/www/clients/client1/web2/web

i have fixed the permissions as follow:

chown -hR -v -f we21:client1 web/*
cd web
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

and when i try to access the website i get the following error:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) Server at assafina.net Port 80

 

Well if you really did :

chown -hR -v -f we21:client1 web/*

Then you have a problem for sure... with an extra b it may be better

 

Sorry for that! was a typing error while typing on the forums!


here is the actual permissions:

chown -hR -v -f web2:client1 web/*
cd web
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

 

Did you already checked if everything looks good with an ls -l in the web folder ?

 

here is the ls -l output:

Looks good, do you have a .htaccess in the web folder who may screw up things ?

 

And web is owned by web2.client1?
Did you use fastcgi with suexec for this website?

 

Seems .htaccess was the problem it was set to deny all
