I wonder if anyone can help me.
I have a website that runs a content management system running in the root directory of my site. I installed the latest version of Opencart in a subdirectory called "store" - so www.domain.com/shop/
Everything works fine, and I can use Opencart as expected.
I need to install VQmod, so I uploaded the files to the root folder of the store, I set the correct permissions, trying 755 and 777, but no luck.
Every time I go to www.domain.com/shop/vqmod/install, I get a 403 error.
Same thing with www.domain.com/shop/vqmod/
Forbidden You don't have permission to access /shop/vqmod/install on this server. Apache Server at domain.com Port 80
Is my .hta file pretty much standard without taking out index.php? from URLs and rewrite rules to change the home link.
RewriteBase /shop/ RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L] RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_base [L] RewriteRule ^download/(.*) /index.php?route=error/not_found [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css) RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA] RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^route=common/home$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^POST$ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}? [R=301,L]
I am starting the Apache server mentioned in the error and the plesk control panel. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated since I am STUCK!
I also have a .hta file in my very root, where cms files are how I can guarantee that this does not conflict with the opencart website.
Thanks to everyone who can shed light on this for me.
