Do you get the following error message when you try to visit a site/your site?
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.
You may see this message when you try to visit a folder in your domain like http://xenexbd.com/hello/. Most of the time, I have found this error for subdomains like http://hello.xenexbd.com. Most probably this is very common in a cPanel server. You may get this error after your install/uninstall FrontPage Extension in the main domain. I was repeatedly facing this problem. I usually solved it by installing/uninstalling/reinstalling the FrontPage extension on that subdomain.
But FrontPage extension is a dead project. Microsoft will not release any more update of it. So, I decided to solve in alternative ways. I searched google but did not find any specific help. So, I dig it myself and solve it within 1 min 
. Allow read & execute access to that specific directory. Uninstalling/Installing FrontPage extension ceases the access.
When you get the above error, login to cPanel & find the error log. If you see the error log shows something like :
[Thu Jun 05 15:21:54 2008] [crit] [client 202.56.x.x] (13)Permission denied: /home/x/public_html/email/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable, referer: http://x.com/x.html
[Note: I have replaced some value with x]
then, you are attacked by same problem. Don’t panic, its a one minute solution. We just need to give read & execute access for that directory. Mind it, execute access is necessary for direcctory if you want to read contents inside this.
Solutions
Method 1: Login to shell. now run the following command
chmod 755 email
Method 2: If you don’t have shell access, open file manager from cPanel. Enter to public_html directory. Now click on the email directory. [Note: click on directory name not the directory icon]
At right-top frame, you will get a menu. Click Change Permission. Now ensure that permission is at least 755.
If you are using X3 series of cPanel theme, select the email after entering to public_html directory. Click Change Permissions from the toolbar. Make it 755 and click Change Permissions.
All done. Now browse the site. It should come without any problem.

Changing permissions and ownership usually is the way to fix this issue. One time one time, I have seen it happen because the group and owner define in the httpd.conf file were non existent: http://www.raditha.com/blog/archives/000788.html

Do people still use Front Page? I thought that became extinct years ago.
