Question

Why am I getting a 403 error on localhost on this link?

    <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/cookies.js"> </script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.13/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" media="all" />

    THE FOLLOWING LINE CAUSES A 403 ERROR
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="../themes/base/jquery.ui.all.css" /> 

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="../development-bundle/demos/demos.css" />

In desperation, I changed the permissions of everything leading to jquery.ui.all.css to 755 which did not resolve the problem.

These are the contents of jquery.ui.all.css:

@import "jquery.ui.base.css";
@import "jquery.ui.theme.css";

Any link I add that has an import statement gives me a 403 error. I spent several hours searching for an answer but no luck. Any ideas? Thank you.

Answer 1

It’s pretty easy. One of these directories doen’t have permissions (apache2) or that css file has no permission to be opened with apache2

0755 are correct permissions
