Hi,

Please contact your web host provider. He will tell you the reason and may resolve your query.

Somehow I feel relieved knowing that the 'forbidden message' does no automatically I am blocked from the site.

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.

Good point, actually the root file is needed to be check else you wont able to see your content anymore

Do you need to login to access that website?

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

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.

thanks for the solution friends am searching for a answer for the same problem
