Check the folder permissions, should be 755.

To expand on what 3spades said, make sure that the user running Apache (maybe the user nobody?) has read permission down the entire tree to where your document root is defined.

So if your DocumentRoot is /home/users/a/b/c, make sure that the operating system user defined in the Apache "User" directive has permission to read the files in /home/users/a/b/c.

/scripts/enablefileprotect

or public_html chmod to 755
