 * I installed supercache this morning, then started to get a few emails from friends
   saying they couldn’t access the site. Sure enough, when I refreshed the page 
   myself I got the following 403 Forbidden error:
 * **You don’t have permission to access / on this server.**
 * You may need to create an index.html page or enable the directory browsing by
   creating an .htaccess file containing “Options +Indexes”.
 * I’ve uninstalled supercache according to the instructions, (removed directories,
   changed .htaccess back, wp-config.php, etc), but…I’m still getting the error.
 * Help!

 * Got it working again. Turns out that the issue was my wordpress installation 
   being located in a subdirectory of my server. But the .htaccess file redirecting
   visitors (from the base directory) to that wordpress directory was deleted.
