I am having trouble getting on to particular website (www.scaledreams.com). When I do try to acess it I recieve the message:

Forbidden

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stronghold/3.0 Apache/1.3.22 RedHat/3016c Server at www.scaledreams.com Port 80

I have never had this problem berfore with this website.

This error appears to be caused by a problem with the version of linuxconf distributed with Redhat 6.x It may reappear if you use linuxconf again

Search your conf/httpd.conf file for this exact string: <Files ~> If you find it, that's your problem -- that particular <Files> container is malformed Delete it or replace it with <Files ~ "^\.ht"> and restart your server and things should work as expected.
