Blank Site

[Hwona]

I know a lot of people have been getting this problem on x10, but I've tried the fix, but everything remains blank after installation when permisions are set to 7 5 5. When set to 750, I get this: Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Does anyone know how to fix this. My testing site has been down for a while due to this.

Permissions on the .htaccess file itself should probably be 644. I'm not sure if that'll fix anything, however.

Since you're using x10 hosting, I'll be more than happy to double check the inc/config.php file (I won't need the database info part of it) and changes made to classes/class_path.php recommended by this post. I just need to know the url and if its inside a subfolder (and if you need to PM me to keep this stuff to yourself, that's fine!).

I tried the tweak to the class_path file - didn't work.
Here's my config:

PHP Code:

<?php
//Mysidia Adoptables Site Configuration File

define('DBHOST', 'localhost');             //DB Hostname
define('DOMAIN', 'caterpillarcave.x10.mx');             //Your domain name (No http, www or . )
define('SCRIPTPATH', '');     //The folder you installed this script in
define('PREFIX', 'adopts_');
?>

The only strange thing is that I can't seem to find my htaccess file.

Perhaps this will help in finding the .htaccess file? Many hosts tend to hide this files for some strange reason.

If it's not there, download Mysidia again and grab a copy from the zip file and plop it in? This really does sound like a problem with the .htaccess file.

As for the class_path tweak, it would look like this, and you will need it on x10 hosting, but I am at least sure it's got nothing to do with the current problem:

PHP Code:

$this->root = "/home/caterpillarcave/public_html/";

Hmm... I've tried everything - even installing a new version of the script. I don't know what' wrong. Well, thanks - although it looks like I'll have to find a new way to test code.

Yeah, I had the same problem as you. x10 just doesn't want to cooperate. Re-installing is pointless xD I'm pretty sure it's something to do with mod_rewrite. Anyways, I'd suggest using WAMP! It works like a charm for testing whilst trying to find a working host and not wanting to make changes to the live website ovo
