Apache 403 Forbidden Errors - El Forum - 05-05-2011

I recently moved my fully working CI app to a new host, and encountered the error:
"You don't have permission to access http://mydomain/ci/index.php/mycontroller/mymethod on this server."
After checking permissions, etc., the only difference I could spot between the offending uri and others that were working was that mycontroller.php does not have an index() function.
I inserted an empty
Code:
function index()And the problem was solved.
I thought I got the gotcha, but I've discovered more Apache 403 Forbidden Errors when accessing some php files that do have an index() method. I can't spot the difference between those that work and those that don't.
I managed to get the a phpinfo() off the old host. The only glaringly noticeable difference is:
Old Server: Server API = Apache 2.0 Handler
New Server: Server API = CGI[/quote]
Is the Apache PHP handler more forgiving than using CGI?
