Hello,

Following the hack of my site’s Joomla administration area, I applied the recommended security measures. My site was working fine until 18/09/2026 when I received an error message.

I cleared the site, but the error persists. I opened a ticket

CS16747492 :

Can you help me? Thank you.

Hello @Jean-PaulM2

Which domain?

hello, thank you, but I solved the problem myself by consulting OVHcloud's AI help 3. Reactivation after a 403 block

If your site is blocked by a 403 Forbidden error (often due to access restrictions or a security block), you can reactivate access by changing the root folder permissions via FTP:

  1. Open FileZilla and log in to your hosting's FTP storage space.
  2. In the menu bar, click Server, then Enter FTP command.
  3. Enter the following command to change the root folder permissions:

SITE CHMOD 705 /

Best regards

Hello,

If you haven't eradicated all hostile files on your hosting, OVH may consider it a repeat offense and apply a permission change that you won't be able to revert with a chmod 705.

Make sure not to leave any other "remnants" lying around...
