Permissions on an Apache Server

    Hi,
    I’m migrating my wordpress site from a test server to an apache server but am having trouble viewing it once its uploaded.
    I get a 403 error message saying ‘You don’t have permission to access / on this server.’
    I’ve tried amending the .hta access file in the root directory with no luck. I’ve even tried removing it entirely again, with no luck.
    Does anyone know why this is is occurring or how to go about fixing it?
    I’m presuming it has something to do with permissions on the apache server?
    My .hta access reads as following if thats any help:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /thegalli/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /thegalli/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Are you sure that your index file is accessible? Try to create simple index.html and upload it to the root directory of your website. If It will work, than you need re-install your wordpress (better) or review file permissions as per docs. Your .htaccess file doesn’t show any restrictions for site access.
