De.scription and Message

Lately I have been getting a lot of 404 errors. I do not have permission to view a page. This mainly happens when i try to view the album, or more worryingly in the acp / configuration / I can not make any chance with out getting an error.

I recently (6 weeks ago) moved the whole forum to a new domain name, but only moved it onto a subdomain on my hosting account. Would this have anything to do with it do you think?


I see that there are people getting 404 errors from searching here. Any ideas?

if you moved the forum using CPanel file manager, i believe the file ownership should not be altered, but if you used the root ftp account, then root now owns this files and you cannot view many of them.

I used a bit of both. I started off uploading backup files via windows explorer but after a while i got time out errors, so then i used cpanel to copy from the main folder into the subdomain folder.

Would i need to get my host to do something, or can i overwrite the files some how by using a different ftp account?

[Helter]

you should be able to see the owner of the files and folders using your ftp client.
This is CuteFTP

ok, i never use a ftp client, i usually just from explorer fo to ftp.paintballer or what ever and then file/login as and then copy and past my files.

I will get a ftp client software and give it a try. Is cute th best?

cute is a good one, but the best is personal preference

My apoligies, it is 403 errors that I am getting not 404 now.

But i still have the problem. When i go to acp/general admin/configuration and press submit without any changes made, 403 error.


I mentened what you said helter about permissions to my host and they forces permissions to my main account:

[root@sl10 public_html]# pwd
/home/irishpai/public_html
[root@sl10 public_html]# chown irishpai -R *
[root@sl10 public_html]# chgrp irishpai -R *

Still no joy. Any more suggestions?

I checked owner of mine using SmartFTP and it gives me a number: 32807

I checked owner of mine using SmartFTP and it gives me a number: 32807

your account may have assigned you a number instead of a name. as long as all the files have the same number, your probably fine

for your account, you should check that all folders that are normally 777 are set to 755 and be sure that all your .htaccess files have no php commands

Hmm, this is annoying. It is not affecting the running of the site much, just the admin side of things. I tried to add a block with HTML code in the portal and that gives errors also.

Whould the chmod of any of my folders affect anything?
