What does your .htaccess file look like ?

Some CMS's, such as MapleSyrup, have a bad .htaccess, which causes a 403/500 error. Post the contents of your .htaccess file here (or delete it altogether).

Edit: Fixed zydee's problem. See the edit, under "other problems."

Look for Deny from All, change it to Allow from All. Then restart the services.
