Im getting a 403 Forbidden Error message when I visit my website. When I look at my error logs in cPanel I see the following error message: Options ExecCGI is off in this directory


To fix this particular error you need to place the following line in your .htaccess file in your "public_html" folder or the directory you get this error:

Options +ExecCGI
