forbidden you don't have permission error

  • This morning I woke up and found I couldn’t access my blog page on my site. Yesterday it was working just fine, and today it’s giving me the error: Forbidden-you don’t have permission to access /blog/ on this server.
    what gives?
    If i change my static home page top display my posts, it works, but it still shows the error on /blog/

    403 forbidden means that your browser isn’t able to load the scripts up because your server isn’t allowing it. This is a hard one to solve. Because anything could be blocking the server.
    – Most likely this is a server permissions/ownership issue, so ask your host what’s going on
    – check your .htaccess files for anything strange.
    – try a full Manual Upgrade, to make sure all the WordPress files are there and correct..
    – Make sure to backup everything (including database) before doing any action, in case.

    My host says it’s because my blog folder is empty. And I have no idea how that happened
    is there a way too install things into that folder only?
    Thanks
