Hi all

I have got to the SYSTEM SETUP section of the installation without issues....all the read and write permissions were changed successfully in the Prerequisites section before that.

as far as I can see the paths to my directories are fine but I get the a HTTP ERROR 403 when i hit save system settings as follows:

ERROR 403 FORBIDDEN YOU DONT HAVE PERMISSIONS TO ACCESS THIS PAGE THIS USUALLY MEANS ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
THIS FILE AND DIRECTORY PERMISSIONS MAKE THIS FILE UNAVAILABLE FROM THE INTERNET - OR - .HTACCESS CONTAINS INSTRUCTIONS THAT PREVENT PUBLIC ACCESS TO THIS FILE OR DIRECTORY

PLEASE CHECK FILE AND DIRECTORY PERMISSIONS AND .HTACCESS CONFIGURATION IF YOU ARE ABLE TO DO THIS. OTHERWISE REQUEST YOUR WEBMASTER GRANT YOU ACCESS

my directories are set as follows:

Physical Path:
/hsphere/local/home/justsoho/macsoftware.com.au/zencart

Virtual HTTP Path
http://www.macsoftware.com.au/zencart

Virtual HTTPS Server
https://www.macsoftware.com.au

Virtual HTTPS Path
https://www.macsoftware.com.au/zencart

SSL ENABLE - NO
SSL ENABLE ADMIN - NO

this has been driving me mad for hours....any ideas? I thought it was a matter of finding a file called .htaccess and changing permissions but I cant seem to locate it!

thanks in advance for any help!

cheers
