[support] Strange issue

[Kobus Myburgh]

Hi Simon,

Thanks, yes, I have done those things. I have placed an index.html file
there, and that displays fine. index.php (non-drupal) displays fine.

My host has since told me that it can not find settings.php (the config
file), but I have checked, the file is there, it is correct (not
mal-formatted, or anything), and I have even replaced it from scratch.
Still not working...

I have asked the hosts to go over the permissions for me.

Regards,

Kobus

Have you tried uploading and accessing any non-Drupal content on that 
host? That should be a very informative troubleshooting step. Try HTML

and PHP content to see if there is any difference.

It could also be a permissions issue.
