Site-wide 403 Forbidden & 404 Not Found errors
-
My site at sparklette.net has been down for most of the day. The homepage gives a 403 Forbidden error:
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.
All other pages and blog posts within the site gives a 404 error:
Not Found
The requested URL /food was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I can still access all pages within the WordPress admin (Edit comments, Settings, Plugins etc) except for the main Dashboard page itself (/wp-admin/index.php) that also gives a 403 error.
The last thing I remember doing before the site went down was to install the W3 Total Cache plugin, and update the WP-UserOnline plugin. The site worked fine for at least 12 hours after that before going down. I have since deleted the plugins through FTP, but to no avail.
Here are the existing file permissions:
- public_html, wp-content, wp-admin, wp-includes 755
- index.php 644
- .htaccess 644
The site is using WordPress 3.1.2. Does anyone know what might be wrong?
