XF 1.1 404 Error

[throwawayname123]

Hi there,

I just installed xenForo, and its working great, although when I type "web.eekcraft.com", I get this error:
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I have tried changing the URL of my homepage to fix this (As I have heard that this happens because of a missing page/file), although, nothing came out of that. Is there a way to redirect my domain so "web.eekcraft.com", redirects to http://web.eekcraft.com/forums/index.php?portal/

Thanks for your time

try the .htaccess file in the root of your site
www/.htaccess

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.yoursite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.yoursite.com/forums? [R=301]

check this​

http://web.eekcraft.com/forums/admin.php?options/list/basicBoard​

Board URL = ​

http://web.eekcraft.com​

​

Home Page URL = ​

web.eekcraft.com/forums/​

​

​

YES Use Full Friendly URLs
If you enable this option, the links generated by the system will not include "index.php?". However, to enable this, mod_rewrite must be available and an appropriate .htaccess file must be in place.

To answer the original issue, it appears as if you've somehow changed the permissions on your file. Make sure files are able to be read and executed, which is chmod 0644.

@Kibg kovifer which file would that be?

 

[Jeremy]

Specifically, index.php or the folder you uploaded XF to. Check both.

Do you have any files in your root directory?

If you don't have an index.html or index.php you'll usually see this error.

Fixed
Thank you so much, I had my xenForo installed in a sub directory, so I moved it into my web root and I no longer see this error!
