Website URL
Problem met
In fact, I don’t understand because my pages work perfectly except for one. When I try to open the page chat.php (which is a general chat), it’s not found and redirects me to: https://errors.infinityfree.net/errors/403/
Hi and welcome to the forum! From this article:
Getting a 403 error means the server is refusing to show your webpage. Here are the most common causes and how to fix them:
1. Website Files Are in the Wrong Location
The Issue: Your domain might be pointing to an empty or non-existent folder.
How to Check:
Log into your InfinityFree client area
Go to Accounts → [Select your account] → Domains → [Find your domain] → Manage
Find the Directory Status card, and look at the Directory displayed there
Understanding the folder structure:

The URL contains a blocked file or folder name
The “chat” keyword
Live chat scripts are not allowed on InfinityFree hosting. Chat scripts work by constantly refreshing the page in the background. These background refreshes generates excessive server load, which is why we cannot host them. You are free to use live chat on your website though, but you will have to use an externally hosted chat system to handle the messages.
To enforce this, the chat keyword is blocked on our servers. If you try to access any URL with chat in it, you’ll get a 403 Forbidden page. For example, http://example.com/chat.php , http://example.com/livechat/index.php will all result in a 403 error.
To fix this, you can rename the file or folder to anything else (like talk, message, conversation or whatever else you want).
Please do note that live chat scripts are banned completely, and being able to work around this block doesn’t mean it’s OK to host a live chat script with us.
