It says 403 Forbidden, not not-found.

I can see the file as present when I FTP into the admin section, that's how I was able to make sure the permissions were correct. Using configuration.php in place of index.php in the admin section still throws the 403 Forbidden error. I did manually change some settings in the configuration table in the database so I was able to get it to do what I needed but I still would like to be able to access. I really appreciate you spending the time to help me out with this!
