Please be a bit detailed.
In which url you are getting this access problem?

Verify the permissions on all files, and folders. Also, check the .htaccess file to make sure its not corrupted, or setup to password protect the files.. Try deleting this file and see if it helps.

i will check and post here again

.Check whether your files are not corrupt. As if you don't save your files in UTF-8 it may get corrupted.

actually i am using joomla with a separate directory
there is no index.html file in the root directory so just to check i have created index.html file which contains just the add code but still the same error is shown
bye the way where to find .htaccess files
there are no such files in my directories!

- Check whether you have 644 permissions for Files & 755 Permisions for Directories.
- Check your .htaccess for errors (Check for file corruption too)
- Can you please provide the URL of your Joomla Installation ?

The problem is with your .htaccess.
I've renamed your .htaccess to .htaccess.bak, and as you see you're now able to see your webiste.
You'll have to look your .htaccess and see what's wrong with it. Check the "error log" in cPanel which is really helpful.

Also, don't CHMOD your public_html folder to 755, it should be at 750. I've fixed this for you.
