I started by installing from fantasico yes it installed 1.3.0.1 when i logged into the admin center I saw the bugfix notice so i figured better go ahead and update now before i started with any modifying I went and downloaded the "changed files only " zip from sourceforge I uploaded all the files to their respective folders and then ran the sql patch to update the DB afterwards I changed the chmod back to 444 (and 644) and couldn't get into the admin center no matter what I try or do I still get the forbidden file (i have have someone else try as well from a completely different computer and ip address and same error) Then i read on the forum about just replacing the admin folder from the "full release" which I have done and still nothing I have tried changing the config files to false and true for the SSL and still nada
