Support

This is a web site on a Cpanel server.

I have recreated an existing Joomla web site - in order to remove a Joomfish based language manager and replace with the current Joomla language manager.

I have used an Akeeba backup file to move this new version to a sub-folder of the current site - new version restored with a new database. The restoration works fine when accessed in the subfolder.

To change over, I copied the subfolder contents to a folder outside public_html. Then renamed this as public_html (also renaming existing public_html). I have done this process in the past successfully but not this time.

Now if I try to run the site from the renamed folder I get the following message:

You don't have permission to access this resource.Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe

I removed the .htacess file - but same message

This is not an akeeba problem but I have searched the web unsuccessfully for any helpful info and wondered if you have any idea what this message means?

Grateful for any help you can suggest,
Thank you,
Richard

Thank you for your reply.
I did put the problem to the host support - don't think I got the brightest of the bunch but eventually they corrected it - said it had to do with the ownership of the folder, which sounds reasonable but I am sure I checked that and it was the same as the rest of the web site - well, it's working at the moment!
Thanks for your help,
Richard
