403 Forbidden - You don't have permission to access .... upgrader.php

I can the Upgrader under /upgrader.php not see - no permissions

Hello Community,

I use RC 17 and was about to upgrade to RC 18. Unfortunately I'm not in the Upgrader behind /upgrader.php because permissions missing.

What could be the problem? I have on the managed server with a german webhost All-inkl PHP 5.6 and all directories have chmod 755, files have CHMOD 644.

Something must indeed be what I have for the first time while upgrading. Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Does upgrader.php have exactly the same permissions as index.php then? Your post suggests so, but I'd check because sometimes giving too many permissions is the issue.

These kinds of errors can also be caused by ModSecurity.
