XF 1.5 Forbidden Issue

So that's the error. If you need any other information let me know, but I have no idea how to fix this.
You can access the website from the VPS that it's being hosted on, but not from any other source.

Looks like a server permission issue.... but since you are running a Windows server I'll have to let others go into specifics since I'm not familiar with it.

Yeah, I knew it had something to do with server-based permissions, but I have no idea how to look at/modify those on Windows. Or what I would even modify.

Your host would be best placed to assist.

I have but have not received a response yet.

Still looking for assistance on this issue. The support from my host wasn't able to provide details.

Bump

I would recommend switching hosts if they aren't able to resolve that.

Failing that, you can look at paying for the services of a sysadmin.

You may want to also post over in the Server related area (or if @Brogan or a moderator could move this thread) as you may get more feedback from folks more familiar with Windows as this is not really a typical script troublshooting/support issue but a server issue. I know I don't read all the areas, I only concentrate on this one and the Server one when I check here. The others may have several hundred posts but I don't visit those categories.

I would be worried that my hosting provider could not tell me what the issue was... unless you are on an unmanaged VPS and then it is your issue to resolve.
Odds are if you were using IIS it would be easier to resolve since that is the default HTTP server, but you are using Apache. Is there a reason you are not running on a Linux system?

You apparently have your forum location set in Community? Are you running another site in the base location for that domain?
If not, why did you place it in a subdirectory called /community?
You need to make sure that /community has the same ownership and permission sets that the base directory above it (known as your root directory) has.
