Pro Dada - Can't access program

I had my website erased but it has been restored from a backup. However, when I try to run the software, I get the following error message:
--------

Code: Select all

Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access this resource.Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe
    Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
--------

Any ideas how to fix this?

Could be simply a file/directory permissions issue. The permissions of the directory the, "mail.cgi" file is located (and every directory above it) should be, "755", as should be the permission of the mail.cgi file itself.

I checked it and all the directories have the proper permission. Any other ideas?

If I need to reinstall, can I just "plug-in" to the existing database?

Perhaps the smoking gun is in the error itself: "Server unable to read htaccess file" - did you check on that?

Yes.

That did it ... well mostly. (At first I didn't pay too much attention b/c I have a .htaccess file but the permissions needed to be changed to 755.)

However, now, when I try to send to email, I get the following message "Yikes! App/Server Problem!:" It says " information about this error may be available in the program's own error log." but I can't find the error in the Dada Mail log.

Well, I created the ".tmp" directory and it seems to work fine now. Seem right?

Strange that directory wasn't there, but manually creating it should work fine.
