Error 403 and access forbidden when trying to get on web pag

by gojeffie - 10/13/06 10:42 PM

I have used this web address many times with no problem getting the web page. Suddenly the other day when trying to access this web site (search, address bar, links, favorites) I keep getting the same error messages. Access Forbidden - You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read protected or not readable by the server. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403
www.thereelvincentdonofrio.com
Thu Ect 12 23:04:57 2006
Apache/2.0.54(Debian GNU/Linux) mod_ssl/2.0.54 OpenSSL/0.9.7e mod_auth_pgsql/2.0.2bl

I don't understand what either of these are saying. I clicked on webmaster and e-mail page came up but it had no address to send a message. I have no idea who the webmaster is. The second error 403 is all greek to me. I'm just learning to work thru problems and don't understand a lot of terms used to correct problems. HELP! Thanks. Vicki

It's not your machine to be fixed.

I ran into someone that had this issue and they had wiped out and restored their machine close to 6 times before they realized that the error was on the server machine out on the internet.

It's not you.

Hopes this helps someone.

A 403 message...

means that you do not have permission to access a specific page or directory.

What is the EXACT URL your link points to? (take a look at the Properties of the link) Sometimes a site publisher makes changes and what used to work no longer does. Try going back through the front door http://www.thereelvincentdonofrio.com

You might also try contacting them at thereel AT gmail.com (reconfigure by replacint AT with @ and remove the space after thereel and before gmail).

Thank you so much. I e-mailed them following your instructions. They replied saying others had the problem and they were contacting the people to correct it. They again e-mailed me when it was fixed. Everything is now working fine! Thanks so much for your detailed instructions. Altho I have been learning so much about computer problems over the last couple years I still don't understand much of the wording I am given to correct problems. Sometimes I feel like such a simpleton but when given very simple (but for you detailed) instructions I can follow them and correct my problems. Thank you again! God Bless. Vicki
