403 forbidden on new install help please

11 March 2012, 17:51

Hi, I have just switched hosting companies and reloaded my website on to their servers.

When I tried to see if my store loaded correctly once I had redone all the file and database changes I was presented with the following message.

Quote

403 Forbidded:
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /mystore/index.php on this server.

I have had a look at my .htaccess file which is sat in my root folder, the same place where index.php etc is sat and done a trial and error by removing seperate sections of code from the .htaccess file and then trying my site again. I have found that the following code is stopping my access to the site:

# Set some options
Options -Indexes
Options FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

When I remove this code my site loads as its supposed to but when I put it back I get the 403 forbidden message.

Does anyone know what this piece of code does and secondly is it really required for security purposes or ny other reason?

Thank you

email popup help?

29 October 2011, 08:04

I have been searching the forum and the addons section to see if there is an addon for email popups.

I have been on a few sites recently and when you land on their site homepage you are presented with an email popup asking to subscribe to their newsletter. You fill in your name and email address and send.

I would like to add something similar to my oscommerce site so has anyone seen a contribution or know how I could achieve this?

Thank you

Michael

how do I increase the space between attributes lines?

20 October 2011, 15:58

Hi, I have changed my attribute boxes from drop down lists to radio buttons but when I have a few options to choose from they look very bunched together as so:

Available Options:

60 x 40cms 770mls Pack 35 ( £10.75 ex.VAT £12.90 inc.VAT / )
60 x 60cms 990mls Pack 35 ( £11.17 ex.VAT £13.40 inc.VAT / )
60 x 60cms 1170mls Pack 30 ( £12.17 ex.VAT £14.60 inc.VAT / )
60 x 75cms 1280mls Pack 35 ( £12.46 ex.VAT £14.95 inc.VAT / )
60 x 90cms 1430mls Pack 35 ( £17.50 ex.VAT £21.00 inc.VAT / )
60 x 90cms 1760mls Pack 30 ( £17.67 ex.VAT £21.20 inc.VAT / )
60 x 90cms 2090mls Pack 25 ( £18.67 ex.VAT £22.40 inc.VAT / )

Where would I need to look to change the code so that I can have a line break between each line of options? So it would look more like:

Available Options:

60 x 40cms 770mls Pack 35 ( £10.75 ex.VAT £12.90 inc.VAT / )

60 x 60cms 990mls Pack 35 ( £11.17 ex.VAT £13.40 inc.VAT / )

60 x 60cms 1170mls Pack 30 ( £12.17 ex.VAT £14.60 inc.VAT / )

60 x 75cms 1280mls Pack 35 ( £12.46 ex.VAT £14.95 inc.VAT / ) etc etc

I would also like to remove the brackets surrounding the prices so it looks like:

60 x 40cms 770mls Pack 35 £10.75 ex.VAT - £12.90 inc.VAT

Where would I change this?

Thank you

Products New - latest items first?

30 September 2011, 12:47

Hi, I am continually adding items to my store and on the front page I have the products new box showing in the center of the store. However it does not matter how many items I add the same items are showing as products new. I have looked in the whats new section and my products are appearing there but not in the order I was expecting. Infact I can not work out what order they are appearing.

Please look if it helps at www.affordablemobility.co.uk

Is there a way to make the latest added products appeear first?

Surely there must be a way to do it by date or something?

I have a modified store so the featured products contribution will not fit exactly as some of the code I need to change I do not have so that one is no good to me at this point.

Any advice much appreciated.

Michael
