Killed my website

Nov 15, 2011 3:35PM PST

Hi Guys,

Thanks in advance for looking at this thread. I have owned a 987mb website for a couple of years now and not bothered with it too much, just a quick update. Last night I decided to upload a new and improved version using FileZilla, and it just seemed to merge the 2 versions and was a mess. So I then used FileZilla to delete all the content showing on the website in the html_public folder and re-uploaded the website. Now when I view the site all I get is this "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /
on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request." The website is - http://www.paul-thompson-photography.co.cc/ What have I done wrong.
Regards
Tommy

404 is usually not bad. Your files are there somewhere the server just can't find them when your domain shows up in a browser. You can try to sort it out via ftp or maybe try your hosts online dashboard. For now try to get at least an index page in the root directory.
