Phoenix Network Forums

Hi!
for some reason I keep getting a 403 when i try to access http://users.phoenix-network.org/~silentguy...
I checked the permissions and they are fine... I have been playing with .htaccess and .htpasswd, but that was only to see if it works... don't know if that did something weird or if it's just bad luck, but it won't work...

You didn't check all permissions. You somewhere missed the "and all top level paths" when doing +x. You need to do at least a "chmod 711 ../silentguy". A missing +x will restrict access on the directory and any subdirectory.

what is +x and how can i use it
for chmod?

+x grants you the right "execute" for a particular file or folder.
