Hello people,

I hope someone is kind enough to help me, cos i'm in a bit of a pickle. I've designed my first site in Dreamweaver, pretty much finished, and now i want to get it onto the remote server so share my site with others! (btw sorry if i use the wrong terms throughout this).

So, I have set up all the FTP stuff, and initially i had one page up whilst I was working on the site saying 'site under construction'. Mind you, for some reason i hadn't done that properly as no pictures were showing.

Now, I have taken that down and i am trying to put my complete website onto the host which is

http://s182232394.website.co.uk (i also have the domain names gugaw.com and gugaw.co.uk which i have forwarded to this)

Now, all that is showing on the page is this message

"FORBIDDEN
You tried to access a document for which you don't have privileges."



Any idea? Please help me if so, I have spent months desiging this site and now i cant share it, it infuriating!!

Thanks in advance,

Claire x

P.S. i have tried contacting the people i brought the webspace from at 1and1 but all that happens is i get routed to the phillipines or my emails are unanswered. pah!

Either the server is misconfigured or there is no index page uploaded.

Try making the following index pages:

index.html
index.htm (note the two different extensions.)
default.html
default.htm (again, note the extensions.)

If none of thsoe work, your server is misconfigured and from the sounds of it, you've got a bad host. Welcome to the wonderful world of web hosting, where losers run wild and scams are aplenty.

Claire it looks like you figured it out. Both the URLs are loading tonight.

The s18222.......... sud domain is still not working. I bet you were trying to connect to that to upload your pages.

1and1 are, as the they would say in germany, SCHEISSE.

I was with them for a few months years ago and I cancelled their service when I stopped using it, then a few months later apparently I have about £50 outstanding hosting billing and they have contacted the authorities so they take me to court!

Their hosting was crap anyway, their downtime was phenomenal
