manual backup & restore problems

[axishift]

my story, our server has been upgraded to fedora from rh9. and one of the ways i have done to backup the files are to compressed the /home directory.

now, i tried to restore some of the directory that are in /home one example is: square00 user

location: /home/square00

i tried to create an account on whm (same account) and i just moved the created account on the new server to

/home/square00 > /home/square00_WHM

and i tried to uncompress my backup files and did try to restore by just moving the old square00 directory to home.

/root/backup/home/square00 > /home/square00

now, i tried to visit the site and the error that is being shown is

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

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

What could be wrong? or, i really shouldt do that. And instead use cpanel's backup tool.

Any suggestions?

chmod 755 /home/*/public_html
All fixed?

great, thanks.

i know how chmod works, and i did not even saw it.

many thanks for that obvious answer.
