 * greetings,
    had the blog up and running two weeks, made change on the css file
   and now getting errors when i try to login, using the original admin and password.
   here’re the error messages: [Sun Jan 4 07:37:52 2004] [crit] [client 151.203.189.106](
   13)Permission denied: /home/be4dean/public_html/blog/wp-admin/.htaccess pcfg_openfile:
   unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable [Sun Jan 4 07:37:50 2004][
   error] [client 151.203.189.106] File does not exist: /home/be4dean/public_html/
   403.shtml

 * thanks LaughingLizard; the .htaccess file isn’t listed in my ws-ftp window after
   i re-uploaded it to my server – so anything more you can tell me about .htaccess
   would be helpful.

 * WS-Ftp probably has an option that allows you to view ‘hidden files’. (I don’t
   use ws-ftp, but that’s a common option.) You might try to find that first.

 * i uploaded “example.htaccess” then re-named it “.htaccess” (after which it disappeared
   from the ws-ftp window) and still get this error:
    File does not exist: /home/
   be4dean/public_html/403.shtml Could this be a chmod issue? or the content of 
   the .htaccess file, which is: # this will make register globals off in b2’s directory#
   just put a ‘#’ sign before these three lines if you don’t want that <IfModule
   mod_php4.c> php_flag register_globals off </IfModule> # this will set the error_reporting
   level to remove ‘Notices’ <IfModule mod_php4.c> php_value error_reporting 247
   </IfModule> # This activates content negotiation, so instead of /archives.php
   you could just call # a file as /archives . Same for any other file on your site.
   Try it out! Options +Multiviews I’m sure I didn’t alter htaccess in the first
   place, how else could something happen in this area?

 * Just noticed that the December calendar still shows – maybe there’s a problem
   elsewhere?

 * To me, the important information above in the error message is this:
    “File does
   not exist: /home/be4dean/public_html/403.shtml” It seems you are being tossed
   a 403 FORBIDDEN warning, but you have no actual 403.shtml file for the system
   to display to the person browsing. Perhaps you have a CHMOD issue with a folder
   and/or files and don’t have the correct permissions assigned? Just my guess.

   okay!
