I've been running with version 2.9.2 for some time and it had been working well.
Over the weekend though the main WordPress blog page has become inaccessible. Going to the page throws an error 403, forbidden access.
I suspect that the hosting provider has done something, but I'm not sure what to cause this problem. They have not been very responsive. It is running on a linux machine.
I'm able to get to the admin login page and successfully get in and browse the list of blog posts within the admin area.
So, I don't think the problem is at all related to the database.
Any ideas on how I can fix this or determine exactly where the problem is coming from?
Thanks
Access your server via FTP and make sure that there's nothing in the .htaccess file in the blog directory that would block your IP. Also, make sure that the permissions of all files are set to 644 and all directories are set to 755.

I'm not able to SSH to the site because of my hosting provider.
Via FTP, I don't see an .htaccess file file in the top level of the blog directory.
File permissions look OK too.
I'm able to explicitly go to some of the .php files in that directory, like wp-login.php and it comes up OK.
And once in admin, all pages are working OK.
There's no index.php in the top level directory. I'm not sure how does it bring up the first page? Is it redirected to the themes area under wp-content?
