batiepatterson Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Forbidden You don’t have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to access my website from google.com. I even tried to access it via gom vpn chrome extension which i got to know from here I get the message when I am trying to go through google and view my website to see what it will look like. I am using the vantage theme, using godaddy for hosting with cpanel control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS ChrisD Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hey Batiepatterson, Are you getting this when clicking on a screenshot or the link in Google? Does your site load when you go direct to the URL? It sounds like there is something blocking the IP which would be best directed to your host. It could also be permissions or a .htaccess issue 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) More likely a permissions (or missing index file) or hosting misconfiguration issue, since an IP block would refuse the connection completely rather than decline to allow access to the directory with that error. Might want to look here: https://www.godaddy.com/help/common-web-page-errors-2505 Edited July 26, 2017 by bear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
