I can't view my website!

[Guest Paula]

It's been 72 hours since I changed my nameservers to Total Choice Hosting!

 

When I try to bring up my website MAKE 6 FIGURES it brings up the following error....

 

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/1.3.27 Server at www.make6figures.info Port 80

 

 

 

 

What do I do? I have uploaded my file at my control panel in the public_html directory.

 

Please let me know,

Paula

You are correct that you want to upload your files inside the public_html directory. Did you include a home page (index.htm or index.html)? Or did you make any changes to the permissions for public_html?

 

I would suggest the best way to solve your problem is to go and drop in a ticket at the help desk. When you do, please include your main admin userid and password so that someone can access and take a look at your site.

 

Good luck.

kweilbacher,

 

Thanks for the info, but I didn't do anything with an

index.html or index.htm. How do I do this? This is probably the problem.

Well, I assumed when you indicated that you had uploaded your files to your public_html directory, you were uploading your web site. Is that an incorrect assumption?

 

A web site has, at a minimum, a file that is referred to as the home page. The name of this home page file is normally either index.htm or index.html .

 

If you need a sample home page you can copy and paste the following code into a file using Notepad. After saving the file, rename it index.htm and then upload it inside the public_html directory.

 

< HTML>

< HEAD>

< META NAME="owner" CONTENT="Paula">

< TITLE>Test page

< /TITLE>

I added a space after every "<" so that it was readable - but you would need to remove the space

 

HTH!
