    Hey all,

    I have a page on this blog that has files, uploaded through a file uploader plugin in wordpress. When one tries to access the files to download I receive this error:

    Forbidden

    You don’t have permission to access /upload_files/resources/Evalue Research_Challenges To Implementing Good Practice.pdf on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/5.2.9 mod_wsgi/2.5 Python/2.4.3 Server at https://www.evalueresearch.co.nz Port 80

    The php for the resources page is pretty self explanatory as it gets a list of files from a certain dir on the server and displays them in <h4> tags and their descriptions in <p> tags. Even with all of this making sense it seems that the files
    are not found on the server/one does not had permission to download/view them?

    <?php
/**
 * Template Name:resources
 */
if (false){
?>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<?php } ?>
<?php include("includes/head.php"); ?>
<body>
<div id="page">
	<?php include("includes/header.php");?>
	<div id="leftcol">
	  <div id="main">
            <div class="content">
                <?php the_post();
				$content = get_the_content();
				$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
				$content = str_replace('<br />','</p><p>',$content);
				echo $content;
				?>
			</div>
			<div class="resources">
            	<?php
				//resources
                global $wpdb;
                $select_files = "SELECT * FROM ".$wpdb->prefix."files ORDER BY file_name ASC";
				$result_files = $wpdb->get_results($select_files);
                foreach($result_files as $files){ ?>
                    <h4><a href="/upload_files/resources/<?php echo($files->file_name); ?>"><?php echo($files->display_name); ?></a></h4>
                    <p><?php echo($files->description); ?></p>
                <?php } ?>
                <?php if (sizeof($result_files) == 0){?>
					<p>
						Im sorry to say that there is currently no resources :(
                    </p>
                    <p>
                    	please check back shortly.
                    </p>
				<?php } ?>
                </div>
        <div class="rsource_clr"></div>
                </div>
	</div>
        <?php include("includes/sidebar.php"); ?>
    <?php include("includes/footer.php"); ?>
</div>		<?php //end of page ?>
</body>
</html>

    Cheers for any help.

    Solved. All that needed to be done was change file permissions of “upload_files” to 0775.

    Thanks
