 * Hi All,
 * Recently I have installed “Lightbox plus colorbox” plugin for my site. When I
   tried to make some changes in settings and save, it throws me “You don’t have
   permission to access /wp-admin/admin.php on this server.”.
    I tried some solutions
   but of no use. Can anyone please help.
 * Thankyou

 * i had something similar and now i get a 500 error, i cannot access the admin 
   panel, i tried deleting the plugin via SSH and restarting all the services… nothing…
 * i knew i should have backed up… this is going to be a real pain in the butt to
   figure out what this did…
