You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Apache Server at Port 80


Is this normal? or rather why do I not have permission to access some websites?
 
What were you trying to access. This can be seen a lot when you try to access files on a site that aren't public.
 
Often, if trying to access a file on a site that you have to register to view first you will see that. On that particular site, it could be that it's down for maintenance, or it could just be a storage area for someone. Eitherway, everyone sees that error, not just you.
 
I've seen down for maintenance error messages before. They dont usualy say "down for maintenance", and I cant really remember exactly what they say, but I dont think its Access forbidden or atleast thats the first time I've ever seen it.

But a storage area? Why would they publicize their website, if its only a storage area? and what could they be storing?
 
The page there has definite restriction on it. Either you need a free or paid subscription or it is reserved for administrative use only. You first need to find the home page for the site to see what if any requirements are needed. If it's a gaming server of some type you may to have running a game in multiplayer mode with an established account to enter a game map.
 
I dont think its a game. Thats the only home page I know of. I think its from China. Could that have something to do with it? because I have no way of knowing how to find its "homepage" or any other page of it.

If you are trying to access a page in another country like a gaming site some of those are closed off to non citizens. But I've run smack into the same type of problem in web searches for various items. If you were looking for something specific try a different word or combination. You can forget that page in a heart best since it's simply "off limits"!
