View Full Version : Can't access admin directory

My ISP moved me to a new server and EE is running fine with one big exception: I cannot access my admin account and therefore cannot make any changes to EE.

When I try:

http://www.biglens.com/gallery/admin

I get a Forbidden error (BTW, admin is not my real subdirectory, so don't try using the url).

The permission for the admin directory is 755. I also checked the .htaccess files, and they appear normal.

Is there something I have overlooked???

Just checked the file permission. I can access this file:

gallery/index.php

and it has a permission of 644, but so does the file in my admin directory:

gallery/admin/index.php

Hmmmm ....

Okay, my ISP fixed it but I don't understand why this had anything to do with it.

My .htaccess file in my root web directory contained this line:

php_flag register_globals off

When it is commented out, I can access my admin directory, when it is active, I cannot access the directory.
