My Xenforo Forum Keeps throwing this error:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /community/index.php on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Have the correct XenForo .htaccess?

Have the correct XenForo .htaccess?

I'm not sure, how would I know?

 

[Landon]

Paste the .htaccess contents here. If you don't have a .htaccess, that's your problem.

Set chmod to 777.

 

[LazosPlaying]

Set chmod to 777.

the command is

chmod -R 777 /path/to/xenforo

Change /path/to/xenforo to the actual path where the folder is located.

This, of course, is only the case if you are selfhosting your forums on your VPS / DEDI, which you probably do, since if you would be using a webhost, this would probably not happen.

You can also do this via an FTP client.

No... you don't change it to 0777 for the root directory.

1. In the set of files and directories you just uploaded, you will see 2 folders: data and internal_data.
2. These two directories must be set to world writeable (CHMOD 0777) or give the IUSR_ Full Control in Windows

True...

Totally forgot about that.

Well... it would work, but there's no need to do so. Also much more unsafe as far as i know.
