403 Forbidden Message

[bookworm]

I have just installed FileZilla on my laptop and have published a minor change to my homepage. The upload seemed to go smoothly, but now, when I try to access my site, I get this message:

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

Apache/1.3.29 Server at www.talia-villa.com Port 80

Can anyone tell me what this is or how I can get my site back?

Many thanks

I have just installed FileZilla on my laptop and have published a minor change to my homepage.

What change? Did you modify or remove your index document?

[bookworm]

All I did was to change one word - I was just testing it really to see if I could make changes. I added the index page to the queue and then selected process queue. Now the index document is empty - fortunately I had it backed up to an external hard drive.

So the transfer to the server failed (you got an error)?

[bookworm]

So it seems. I contacted my hosting company and they said my domain wasn't pointing to the server which they have now corrected and my old site is now appearing again. However, the changes I make in FileZilla still fail to appear on my site. I make changes to the files, open FileZilla, upload the changed files to the queue, process the queue and get a message telling me the files have transferred successfully, however, on my live website the changes do not appear. Does anyone else have this problem?

Browser cache perhaps? Try clearing it.

[bookworm]

Yes, I have done that, but my old site still appears.

If you have a complete, uncorrupted copy of your website document on the server, you may have to adjust its permissions to be world-readable (right click the remote file in FileZilla and select ''File permissions...'', try 644, or, if that won't do, 664).
