Killed my website

by tommycobbler - 11/15/11 11:35 PM

Hi Guys,

Thanks in advance for looking at this thread. I have owned a 987mb website for a couple of years now and not bothered with it too much, just a quick update. Last night I decided to upload a new and improved version using FileZilla, and it just seemed to merge the 2 versions and was a mess. So I then used FileZilla to delete all the content showing on the website in the html_public folder and re-uploaded the website. Now when I view the site all I get is this "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /
on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request." The website is - http://www.paul-thompson-photography.co.cc/ What have I done wrong.
Regards
Tommy

404 is usually not bad. Your files are there somewhere the server just can't find them when your domain shows up in a browser. You can try to sort it out via ftp or maybe try your hosts online dashboard. For now try to get at least an index page in the root directory.

Many thanks Kev

I'm sorry but I should have said that I am a noob when it comes to this stuff. Can you explain it step by step, thanks
All the files seem to where they should be but they are not showing on the website
Thanks
Paul
