cannot access any of my sub pages

unable to access sub pages

[zim3]

Hi

I have full access to my server, however, when I create www.mydomain.com/subpage, i get a 403 Forbidden, saying YOU DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE SERVER /SUBPAGE/ APACHE 2.0 ....

Can anyone help? I am quite new to this server business, so please go easy with me.

Thanks in anticipation

How, precisely, do you "create" www.mydomain.com/subpage?

Are you using some sort of "control panel" script to do this? Or are you talking about simply uploading some content into a subdirectory called "/subpage"?

If the latter, then you probably have a file permissions problem. You will need to use a shell comand or FTP to set the permissions on the subdirectory and all files within the subdirectory to "644" or "ow:rw,gr:r,wo:r" -- the syntax varies depending on the server OS and on the program you are using to view/change permissions. The goal is to set the permissions on directory and all files within it so that they can be read.

hi

thanks for the quick response.

I created the subpages using the control panel provided to manage the server Extend Control Panel, I have also just changed the permissions on the subpage folders to 644 to no avail.

Anything else I can try?

Yes, I'd recmmend going to the FAQ pages, Web site, or forum for your control panel. Control panels are scripts which make basic settings simple, but often confound efforts to use more direct and sophisticated means.
