It is an http error code meaning you tried to access a file in your browser, but your server won't let you access it.  Typically files that need to be accessed by a web browser should have their permissions set to 755 on the server.

Which file were you trying to access?

The problem is with your server and has nothing to do with Dolphin.  You should contact your host about this.

Have you recently changed hosting companies?

Davidson,

You specified "index.php" in your URL which results in a 404 error:

Error 404: NOT FOUND!
Your browser cannot find the document corresponding to the URL you typed in.
This means the "index.php" file was not found.

When you leave the "index.php" off the URL you get the 403 error:
Error 403 - Forbidden
You tried to access a document for which you don't have privileges.

This means that the server is not allowing directory browsing since there is no "index.php" (default) file.

Did you install dolphin in the root or in a sub directory?

If you installed it in the root, get a fresh copy of the "index.php" file and FTP it to the server.


That should fix what ails you.

Typically files that need to be accessed by a web browser should have their permissions set to 755 on the server

Typically files should be 644 and directories should be 755 ..... 

HTH

That's what I meant to say about permissions..  Yesterday index.php returned 403....not 404.   Index.html was a default page yesteday.   Today everything's gone.  PBKAC probably.
