Forbidden 403 Error

[djK]

Unexplainably, yesterday My site went down (speculations are that "Jacko" almost crashed the internet, bringing down servers and all). I was greeted with the famous Forbidden 403 error message, this morning the site is up again. Im trying to find out, what could have caused this error...

PHP...
Apache Server...
MySQL...

I have no idea, seems like you server is borked, you may need to contact your host. Have you checked your error logs?

I am in the process of doing that now. Status update:: The site is down again... any suggestions???

i have googled the error n I have a couple of solutins that i will try, the php.ini file will have to be customized for my site by the host, the .htacess file shud be deleted.

any chance that your permissions were reset?

have your host set them to something like 775 on all folders to see if that was it

I will have them try that immediately, thanks
