Permission issue after upgrading

[KSteele]

****EDIT: I should mention this is happening when I try to move an existing product to a different (new) category and try to save my changes... however, I moved all but one product to this same category. In other words it's just the one product that won't save.

 

It seems that I also cannot Add a New Product....

 

This is the warning I get:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /vitamin-store/nutriadmin/index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

 

 

 

This is not the first time I have seen this warning since I upgraded from 1.4.6.2 to 1.6.0.6 - So, obviously it's a permissions issue... but looking on the server I see that "nutriadmin" is set to 755 and "index.php" is set to 644.

 

Are those not the right permissions for those files ???

 

****EDIT: I should mention that I am using an Administrator account

I also want to add that I would simply recreate the product and associate it to the new category - but I am afraid that existing customers using their order history to "Reorder" would return an Out of Stock notification or Product doesn't exist or ??? for a product that actually does exist and is in stock.

 

I don't know if this could be an issue or not - if anyone definitively knows please feel free to reply with an answer to that....

 

I am desparate to get this fixed though as I have the live site in Maintanence mode - any help?

FIXED: Turns out the issue with this was a mod-security rule that was blocking access... had the hosting server tech disable it and everything began to work as expected. If you have this issue contact your host.
