I have a cobalt that is I have had for quite some time. I gave my friend a account and everything would be fine. Then the next day there would be a error

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

I tryed to chmod 775 and even 777 as root and still did not solve the problem. I deleted the account and created it again. Worked fine and then a few hours later I would get the error. What could be wrong?

check in /web for any .htaccess en removed.


ssh to server
su
cd /home/sites/sitexxx/web

rm .htaccess

Did you or your friend delete the index file? You'll get that error message if you access directory which doesn't have index file
