Can't see my gallery!

[slaughteredlamb]

Um, I've only just noticed this but think it must have been like this since the server move a few months ago!

If I try to access my gallery via the link in the menu on my site (www.peakoverload.com) I get this message:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /gallery/ on this server.

Huh?!?

The gallery is a Slideshow Pro flash gallery and I have embedded the .swf file into a static content article within Joomla. The .swf then talks to SlideShow Pro Director which is a seperate database program that allows me to administer my gallery online without the need to Flash MX. Slideshow Pro Director than 'sends' all the photos to the gallery.

If I access the gallery via Slideshow Pro director it's all working fine and, before the server move, the link was working fine too. So what would cause this error and how do I fix it?

I'd check your SEO component or your .htaccess file

[slaughteredlamb]

Erm, okay. I know what's causing it, just no idea why it's doing it, what it's doing or how to stop it.

I'm using SEF advance to create SEF URL's. If I turn it off the gallery appears. If I leave it on, I get the the 403!

This is my .htaccess file

Code:

      # mod_rewrite in use

Try  # Uncomment following line if you get 403 Forbidden Error

Try removing the # on line 9

Yep tried that, still no joy

Gallery's working here (although that bad music is still there )

However your build a feed thingy isn't. Write permissions aren't set somewhere?

[Jeep Stone]

Indeed. It's here for me as well.

Yeah I've kinda fixed it. The problem is still there but I've 'masked' it.

As for the feed thing. OOPS. That darn server move really has messed things up, I'll take a look at that in a bit.
