You put your forum in it's own directory, which is fine,
but your main directory has no "index.php" page? So
the link shown below ends-up being forbidden?
Until you get an index page made, at least upload this
as your "index.php" ...
$redirect="/forum";
header ("location: $redirect");
?>
That will redirect it to your forum.
