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

Posted on November 26, 2013

Hi!

I was having a problem when uploading new themes for my both Wordpress blog. DO’s support helped me with it, saying that i had to create and edit a /.htaccess file.

I did for the first droplet - ok, nice!

When i tried for the second, i was not able to access my blog anymore and got exactly this message: “403 You don’t have permission to access / on this server.”

Can you help me? Thanks
