Permission probs.

[Boswell]

Hi guys
Totally new to this, so be patient.

Just messing around with my first site. Everthing fine until I changed around permissions on CP.

I've got 744 on public_html folder and index.html - if I try viewing with my browser I'm getting

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.

This is Day 1 stuff, sorry.

If the site is entirely HTML or PHP, experience tells me that you should change the files to 644. No reason not to that I know of...

If you are running CGI, then you should change the executable scripts to 755.

[redsox9]

Oh, and your folders should be 755, not 744.

That's great, Redsox, it's running fine now, thanks.
