Hello,

Recently I moved my cpanel account to another server, after that, I am getting '403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server' error.

How can I fix this error?

It is usually related to folder/file permission. If you are using shared hosting then contact your hosting provider to fix the issue.

1. .htaccess file

Click on . htaccess file and reset all file and folders permission and also disable Wordpress plugins then that error code will go and it'll work fine.

Error is due to ownership or permission which needs to be resolved
Also need to check the error_logs to see why 403 error

Hey there...

it should be due to permission error. Ensure that you folder has correct permission/ownership.
If you are getting this error while trying to make any changes, check modsecurity on your account and try disabling it.
