Hi,
I have a journal that has been working well for a few years, but recently I have been getting a "forbidden error" whenever I try to edit anything The Look > Setup it comes up saying "Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server." This happens when I press the save button on any of the Setup pages.
Curiously, It was working till very recently and this a sudden change. I would like to try to troubleshoot this but don't know where to start, which directory could it be complaining about? I am on a shared hosting environment, running LAMP. Could this be caused by PHP versions i.e. if my host upgraded their php install?
Any clues would be greatly appreciated!
thanks,
Karina
