Opencart 403 Forbidden for Admin

Question

I haven't touched any files on an install of Opencart for over 2 years or so but recently have been getting an error when trying to access my /admin page.

I tried removing -Indexes from the public_html .htaccess file and also added a .htaccess file to the /admin folder but with no luck.

I've read that it could be something to do with file permissions but unsure how this could have changed without me accessing any of the files?

Answer 1

Replacing the admin folder fixed this issue. Thanks for the answer Mojtaba Sabeti
