hello guys
i have developed a feedback form for my website and downloaded FormMail script for it. i configured the script and uploaded my html and script file to my web server. now whenever i post the form i get this error:
Error 403 - Forbidden
You tried to access a document for which you don't have privileges.

i have set appropriate folder permissions as well i.e. chmod 755. i have tried alot many scripts but in vain

.
what might b wrong?

How are you setting your chmod - are you doing it with a script, or manually? If you are doing it with a script, then try doing it manually, as your script may be flawed. If you have done it manually, and can see that the chmod is definitely set to 755, try setting it to 777 and running your script again to see if that clears up your problem.
