htaccess problem?

[lauriesmith]

I just configured my files (version 1.81) and uploaded everything. I chmoded my listmail folder to 755.

When I attempt to access the folder I placed my files in, I get the Forbidden error. I have tried manually adding a folder lock through cpanel. It gives me the login box, I login, and then I still get the message.  The only thing I can figure is it has to do with my base htaccess or this program.

Code: [Select]

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName www.[mydomain].com
AuthUserFile /home/[mydomain]/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/[mydomain]/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
Options All -Indexes
DirectoryIndex default.php


I have another sub-folder which is password protected and it works fine.

I have now tried 3 browsers with the same result.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Laurie

Hi Laurie,

You should not chmod your entire ListMail folder - the default permissions should be fine.  The only folder that needs chmod is mail/attach which needs to be 777.  Also, when using the *.cgi scripts they need to be chmod 755.

It's possible your server is not set up to default to loading index.php.  What happens when you browse to the ListMail index.php file?

ie: http://site.com/mail/index.php

The following  lines in .htaccess might affect ListMail.  They seem to prevent GET and POST style variable declaration and form submission - ListMail uses both extensively.

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>

Please let me know if you continue to have troubles!

DW,
Thank you for your reply. When I tried the folder again this afternoon, it started the installation process.  :shock:   Go figure.  

Also, I only chmoded the folder after it wouldn't work to start with. Since it's functioning now, I think I'll leave everything "as is".  lol

Thank you again,
Laurie
