Intermittent 403 forbidden error
Twice in the last week when I have tried to access any part of the site I have gotten a 403 forbidden error. The first time I was actively browsing a story and the issue persisted for only a few minutes. Today, the second time, the site was down for over 40 minutes. I had to go do some other stuff, so I have no idea when the site came back.
Good luck with this, other issues, and pub 2.0 Eric!

Re: Intermittent 403 forbidden error
And if you want to scream at the appropriate party, look up GoDaddy's support number. Somehow, the permissions on my account directory have gotten changed - TWICE - so that they were inaccessible. (They were set to 000, for those familiar with chmod...)
That this was directly targeted at MY directory, and (apparently) none of the directories around mine, I find very curious. If it happens again, GoDaddy is going to have a very irate phone call on their hands.
I do apologize for the inconvenience, but there is literally nothing I can do to prevent this so long as I am forced to use GoDaddy as my webhost. And I am forced to do that until someone can point me to a reliable host that allows adult content and charges about the same as GD does. Donations are in decline at the moment, so I certainly cannot afford to pay more for the site.
