    Permission Denied Error [resolved]

    On one of my sites, I've suddenly started getting the 403 error everytime I try to access any page:


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

    Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    I checked the error log, and it showed this:

    XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (13)Permission denied: /home/mydomain/public_html/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
    Is there anything I need to do with the .htacess file?

    (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = ip address )

    Linux server? If you created it with your user, make sure it has read rights for everyone.

    Strangely (or not) enough, it does have read permissions for everyone.

    Is there anything else I can try, or do I need to contact my host? I want to make sure it's not something that can be solved at my end first before going to them.

    I had weird effects with .htaccess on my university account once, but that was due to invalid syntax. Other than that I don't know.

    AAh!

    Permissions had to be set on the public_html folder! It was wrong for some reason.

    My folly.
