This message is generally caused because either the underlying file system permissions do not allow the User/Group under which Apache is running to access the necessary files; or the Apache configuration has some access restrictions in place which forbid access to the files. You will identify it by visiting the error log.

Forbidden message : If this occurs it is generally for one of 3 reasons.

You don't have a properly named default page in your main WWW directory. Acceptable file names are listed below:

* index.htm
* index.html
* default.html
* index.sht
* index.shtml
* index.cgi

The WWW directory permissions are improperly set. Logging into your domain with telnet and typing the following will fix this problem:

chmod 711 /www/your-user-id

When you receive your account the permissions are correctly set.

You put a .htaccess file in your main WWW directory, or you changed the configuration of an existing .htaccess file which is locking up your web site.

Get out your FTP program and have a look at the owner of that file, along with the permissions set on it. Whether or not you think you've done anything, check anyway. If every file in that folder is not inaccessible then the folder has most likely been changed, so check that. Check the owner is the same as all the other folders in your hosting account. If all this looks OK then take a backup of that folder, and make sure that is saved to your PC. Then delete the folder on your hosting account and reupload it. If that doesn't work then something is wrong with your account rather than with the files and their permissions.

You need set up the permission access. It may be caused by some conflict!

[samstephan9]

It's permission problem.

[zelthost]

You have no any index.html file in you panel that's why it's sow it.

The 403 Forbidden error is an HTTP status code which means that accessing the page or resource you were trying to reach is absolutely forbidden for some reason.
