HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden

 

Generally. the HTTP error 403 - Forbidden means that access to the file/folder you are trying to open has been denied, either on purpose or due to a misconfiguration.

If you suspect that only your access is blocked, try a web proxy to hide your identity.

If you are the site administrator check the webserver's error log when troubleshooting. Most web hostingcontrol panels give access to such a tool. In cPanel, it is called Error log. Check the manual for your webserver if you don't have a control panel.

In the error log you will see a list of the last error messages generated by your website. In this list you will find detailed information about each error including: the date and time of the error, some information about the client receiving the error, description of the error and information about which folder or file on your account is generating the error.
