Modify .htaccess

[uniq111]

I removed the original content of the .htaccess file with followings:
---
Options All -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html
---
and got a 403 Forbidden error message.

Would someone please let me know what's needed to get the modified file working ?

Thanks

so the original .htaccess had

Options All -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html

?

Do you currently have a index.php file?

That's the only reason I could see for it throwing a 403.

When you accessed what? Errors are a response to some action; HTTP status errors are in response to requesting a URL. An error status doesn't carry enough information for diagnosis. What would your doctor tell you if you said "I have a pain. What's the problem?"
