index.php not showing up: Access Denied!

[karlpcri]

I am using the free hosting at the moment, as I am trying out some new things before launching

my problem is loading my index.php it wont open when I go to the url I get this:

403 Forbidden
Access to this resource on the server is denied!

Any help would be much appreciated please

I see your site just fine when I tested right now, do you still get that?

Though, right now there's an index.html serving the site and no index.php present.

Keep in mind that your php files would need to have the permission set to 644

Thanks Anna,

I had the permission set to 777 not 644 ooopppssss aha
Thanks for fixing the issue

777 will cause an error as that means world writable and is a huge security breach, so the servers are configured to throw an error on that.

@Anna, why 644 not 755? I was always told the second permission level. Any problems with 755?
Thank you

 

[Anna]

755 is generally for folders, 644 generally for files.

Thanks for the explanation @Anna
