Topic: Can't access calendar (new installation)

Have successfully installed LuxCal, I can see from the database that my URL should take the form "//mydomain/event/?cal=mycal" - however this brings up an error "You don't have permission to access /event/ on this server."

Folder permissions are set to 0755, so presumably not that - but not sure what else to try. Any ideas would be welcome.

Hello Jay,

It might be a minor point; it should be: http://mydomain/event/?cal=mycal

Re: Can't access calendar (new installation)

Hi Jay,

Dan is right.
Do you get this error message directly before the calendar page is shown, or does the calendar page show with this error message somewhere in the body of the page?
Would it be possible to send me the URL of the calendar, so that I can have a look myself. (if you prefer, you can send it to me by email via the Contact Us page).

Re: Can't access calendar (new installation)

Thanks Dan & Roel - good to have such quick replies!

I was actually using the full URL, just shortened it for my post - sorry for confusing you.

Having slept on it, it occurred to me that my .htaccess might be blocking access - and it was (with the directive DirectoryIndex home.html) so I've replaced that with a 301 from /index.html to /home.html and everything's good.

BTW, I found that I could access it without problem at /event/index.php, so guess that may be an alternative approach.

It is great that you figured out the cause and posted what it was Jay.
