.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable

October 15th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

If you are getting “(13)Permission denied: /home/username/public_html/logo/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable, referer: http://www.yourdomain.com/logo/index.html” error in  apache error logs file /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log as well as the site is showing 403 Forbidden Error.

Then first please check the permissions of your folder and .htaccess file because folder permission are most likely 755 and .htaccess permission 644 . To change permissions use : chmod 644 the_name_of_your_path after that still you are getting same problem,then might be Frontpage Extension problem.

* Login into your CPanel account
* Click on Frontpage Extensions icon
* Click on Reinstall extensions button beside your problem domain.
* Done.

The .htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file problem  will be fixed.

    Hello,

    Please ensure /public_html/ directory group user is nobody
    Fix it using command chown “username”:nobody /public_html
