Magento new host - 403 Forbidden - Server unable to read htaccess file

Question

I have moved to a new host and setup everything, but when I try to access the site, I get the following 403 Forbidden error

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /webfiles on this server. Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any ideas on the problem?
