403 Error on All admin buttons in the Admin CP after doing an upgrade from 1.2.012 to the latest 1.4.
I can't do anything in the admin CP except view the main page. Everything I click brings up a 403 error. Something must have gone wrong, or a premission must be wrong...
Ok so I contacted host gator... they whitelisted it... Now admin CP works great... no more 403 errors... now for some freaking strange reason when I go to my forums, it re-directs me to my home page.

Please tell me if you have a clue what the heck is going on?!
Have you modified your .htaccess or set some kind of redirects up?
I did not modify the .htaccess file... but someone at host gator might have... I told them to whitelist that mod_control or whatever its called to make the stuff work. They did that and my admin CP was back up...
Should the the htaccess file be nammed .htaccess or htaccess.txt ?
Found the problem... for some reason there was an index.php and index.html file in the root of the /forum... I do not know how the hell the index.html got in there...
Here was the contents of it:
<html>
<head>
<title>Redirecting...</title>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=../../" />
</head>
<body>
<a href="../../">MyBBoard</a>
</body>
</html>
That index.html will be used before index.php is used. Delete the index.html.
Why / how did it get created though?
It probably got added by your host.
That index.html is used in a lot of folders to stop you accessing them, ./images/ for example, you must have put it there, isn't there by default...
