403 Forbidden Error on all posts/pages!

  • Hi – I am a complete newbie to WordPress. I played with XAMPP and WP on my home PC and had a site up and running. So I registered my domain and purchased hosting to create my website: https://www.blurryedgez.com

    My hosting provider allows me to upload content only into /httpdocs/mysite

    Installation worked fine and I can even log in to the admin console to create posts. But I cannot view the posts or even the website. I get the same error:
    403 Forbidden: you do not have permissions to view this content!
    I get this even when I am logged in as myself.
    So I went through the forums and checked the following:

    1. Permissions: 755 on folders, 644 on files

    2. .htaccess: I cant see the file in my root, and after asking my hosting provider I was told I dont have access to that file.
    – Can I create my own and put in under the /httpdocs/mysite folder?
    – Is this the right code for the .htaccess file?
    # BEGIN WordPress

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress
    – what is the extension of the .htaccess file (if any)

    3. Is there anything else I need to think of?
