Hi all, I've searched all over but cannot find a solution to my problem.
I deleted my dashboard folder when I was troubleshooting a WSOD situation on that page, so that I could do a fresh upload of it and activate it new. However, when I do, it now gives me a:
You don't have permission to access /dashboard/ on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
error. I've tried everything I know, short of reinstalling the entire thing, and it still thinks its a actual directory. Is that the only way? what a bummer if so... I can activate it in the admin and all but cannot access the area from the front. Does anyone know how to get around this? I deleted the core profile plugin one and it reactivated fine, because I had the WSOD there too, but that one I was able to access fine.
Any clues?
Thank you in advance,
Kepa

You must log in to post replies.Of course, this is what is in the error log, but I don't know how to work around it.
"Directory index forbidden by Options directive:"
It's a permissions issue? You can try and set that folder's permission to a user that has sufficient permissions.
Hi thanks for answering, yeah, I tried that, no dice. Made it the same as stock and also made them 755 still forbidden with that error.
I also should state that I inactivated all non-core plugins and still errors, even after deleting and re-uploading and reactivating multiple times. strange.
Post your error logs.
Here they are thanks for looking, as you can see I don't have a 403 set up but those are the only errors from that session, after I disabled all non-core plugins, not much to glean huh? btw its actually 1.8.19, if that matters any:

yeah I saw that too, and my .htaccess is the same as its always been with -Indexes and I thought perhaps an .htaccess got into the dashboard directory by mistake, but no, just the views and languages folders. I am at a loss, I think I am going with the AU sets anyways, and leave the dashboard disabled. Its still eating at me though...
…along with the start and manifest of course.
Check the permission AND owner and group of the files and subdirectories of the dashboard plugin that you re-installed. Most likely something isn't right here and the webserver just can't read these files.
