403 Forbidden with Codeigniter on Ubuntu

[eluser]AoiKage[/eluser]
I've recently switched back to Ubuntu (10.10) and I have a problem. I installed the usual lamp-server package and everything works fine. Every PHP app, CMS etc works, but I can't access any codeigniter folder (403 forbidden). I have a fresh installation and a folder with a little site I was developing using codeigniter and both of them give me that error. The app I was building uses a .htaccess, but the fresh installation doesn't, so I think the problem is not in the mod_rewrite (which, btw, is active).

What sort of folders are you trying to access? There is a .htaccess in the system and application folder to block access to the folder, and quite rightly so.

I use Suse linux and found the same problem only when folder permissions weren't set correctly. Are you developing in your public_html directory or elsewhere?

I was trying to access two folders inside my web server root directory, not inside the framework itself

By the way, I solved the problem changing permissions for the .htaccess file.
Every file/folder had the right permissions so I didn't notice that...
