"403 Forbidden" error after installation

Wednesday 18 January 2006 6:23:12 am

I installed ez publish and it works fine when I enter full url:
www.foo.com/index.php/

But when I simply enter:
www.foo.com

I get "403 Forbidden" error.

What's wrong?

I have slightly different problem,

When I copied the file to .htaccess I was not able to access the directory or pages in it.

Trying to access the root page without the index.php appended I got a screen about Apache.

When I do append the index.php I got a forbidden access error.

I wonder if the installation must be in a directory other than root. But I see no documentation that says that.

Even so, following the instructions:

# If you see "Forbidden" when trying to access root page of your site
# without 'index.php' appended, uncomment the following "Files" section.
# NOTE: replace "ezpublish-3.6.0" with base name of the directory
# where your eZ publish intallation resides.
# e.g. base name of "/sites/ezpublish/ezpublish-3.6.0" is "ezpublish-3.6.0".

I uncommented the lines and changed it to the base name "htdocs"

<Files "htdocs">
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Files>

Still it does not work.

without index.php I get the apache screen, with index.php I get a "403 forbidden" error

I wonder if the problem is with the version of php I am using?

I am using 4.3.11

It looks like ezp 3.6.5 requires PHP 4 version 4.3.4 - 4.4

Would this be the issue?
