    A friend of mine is making a new website to replace the old one. He has created a WordPress site in a subdomain www2 of the main working one (non WP)

    After he finished and tested online he followed WP instructions on how to move a WP site between same server directories. http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress Then he copied new public_html content to the old first level public_html dir.

    He got an error 403 Forbidden.

    Error log: Directory index forbidden by Options directive

    Sandbox dir www2 directives are:

    Options -Indexes +SymLinksifOwnerMatch +ExecCGI
    allow from all
    AllowOverride All
    Options=ExecCGI,Includes,IncludesNOEXEC,Indexes,MultiViews,SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    AddHandler fcgid-script .php
    AddHandler fcgid-script .php5
    FCGIWrapper /home/…/domains/www2….com/fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi .php
    FCGIWrapper /home/…/domains/www2….com.uy/fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi .php5
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    and www directives are:

    Options -Indexes IncludesNOEXEC SymLinksifOwnerMatch +ExecCGI
    allow from all
    AllowOverride All
    Options=ExecCGI,Includes,IncludesNOEXEC,Indexes,MultiViews,SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    AddHandler fcgid-script .php
    AddHandler fcgid-script .php5
    FCGIWrapper /home/…/fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi .php
    FCGIWrapper /home/…./fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi .php5
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    .htaccess is WP’s default

    # BEGIN WordPress

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

    # END WordPress
    Directory index is forbidden in both domain and subdomain dirs.
    I cannot realize why the site www2… works good in browsers but there’s a 403 error when browsing www after copied www2 content to www dir.

    There are some active plugins like WooCommerce, Contact Bank Lite Edition
