[DebojyotiDey]

MY WEBSITE URL IS deb.great-site.net.Whenever I am trying to access this URL this message appears:

#403 Forbidden
#Server or website configuration is blocking you from viewing this page

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.BTW I AM A NEWBIE IN WEBSITE HOSTING.
I have also attached the screenshot below.

Redirected to InfinityFree 403 Forbidden page

While working on your website, you may be redirected to the InfinityFree 403 error page. This article explains why this can happen, and what you can do to solve it. The directory does not contain an index file If you try to request a URL without a file name in the URL (e.g. http://example.com/ or http://example.com/blog/), the server will look for a so-called index file. An index file is a file with the name index.php, index.html, index.htm or index2.html in the folder you’re trying to access.…

But, I already have a file as bootstrapcards.html inside the htdocs folder

Yes, http://deb.great-site.net/bootstrapcards.html works fine. You have no index file though; so the server tries to look for one, and failing that, redirects you to 403.

As described in the article I linked above, if you want bootstrapcards.html to be your index file, you can either rename it to index.html, or set a DirectoryIndex rule:

@Admin

• You can create a file with the name .htaccess in the directory and add the line DirectoryIndex yourFile.html index.php index.html index.htm, where yourFile.html is the name of the file that should be loaded.

If you just want a directory listing of your files, this is also covered:

@Admin

• You can create a file with the name .htaccess in the directory and add the line Options +Indexes. This will cause the server to show a list of files and directories instead.

You can create a file with the name .htaccess in the directory and add the line DirectoryIndex yourFile.html index.php index.html index.htm, where yourFile.html is the name of the file that should be loaded.

I AM UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND THIS POINT.

[ChrisPAR]

No worries.
If you want your boostrapcards.html file to be displayed when someone visits your site, without changing its name to index.html, you can create a .htaccess file in your htdocs folder with this content:

DirectoryIndex bootstrapcards.html index.php index.html index.htm

This tells the server to look for a file called “bootstrapcards.html” first; if it doesn’t find one, it will then look for an “index.php” file, then “index.html” and finally “index.htm”, and failing all those, it will redirect you to the 403 page.

I already have a file named .htaccess in the directory.I don’t know how to access it?

You can edit it just like you would any other file. Just right click it, and select “Open With”, any any basic text editor will do.

It’s working now.But when I am trying to open this URL in another device(such as Mobile) the page isn’t displayed.

[DebojyotiDey]

I am unable to view my URL deb.great-site.net on my mobile device even after doing all these things.
