You don't have permission to access /gallery/admin/settings.php on this server

Hi,

Hope that title will attract someones attention who has maybe had the same problem.

I have deleted my old installation of 4images after problems with the phpbb integration.
I have done a fresh install and everything seems fine until i go into the admin panel.
I can add categories, users etc and pretty much everything apart from when i go to edit the "settings".
When i click the save changes button i get this message:
FORBIDDEN
You don't have permission to access /gallery/admin/settings.php on this server

Strange i know, but just spent 12 hrs trying to get permissions correct etc. I am not a noob, but just cannot figure this one out.
I have tried 1.72 and 1.71 and am getting the same error with each installation.

thanks in advance for your help

Check with your FTP client what permissions are set on files in /admin folder, compare them with the rest of .php files in the gallery

Thanks for the reply. Your quicker than my hosts!

I have tried chmod always and every way. 644 666 755 777.
I have installed gallery on quite a few sites over the years without a problem. It usually works straight from the tin with only the documented files to be chmodded.

If i do a fresh install, surely things should work.
I will try once more, then just wait for my hosts to reply.........
