My hosting provider does not support chmod via FTP - the install seems to go just fine, but immediately after attempting to load the admin or front end page gives me a 403 error. Any ideas would be appriciated, thanks.

Site PHPinfo:

Output from install:
iAuto installation details:

Please change the access mode to non Apache-writable (644|go-w) for the following files:
.htaccess
admin/.htaccess
system/user-config/LocalSettings.php
system/admin-config/LocalSettings.php
Congratulations!!! The installation was successful!

Go to the admin panel  Go to the front end area
Now, please remove the install.php file from the root of the installation folder.
Failure to do so may allow third persons to re-install your software and gain control over it.

If your hosting provider does not support chmod via FTP you will have to chmod the files manually. You can ask us to help with that also.

It looks like the problem you are experiencing is in the .htaccess file. Rarely on some servers the installation piece of script is unable to write into the .htaccess so it may be blank, but it should contain the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* ./index.php

in order to run the product.

For some servers you also need to specify the

RewriteBase /

The are also may be different reasons but the listed above is more common.
