Solving 403 error after activating SharePoint feature

Category: SharePoint, TechnologyAdam Toth @ 1:56 pm

After activating a custom SharePoint feature I created, the web application I activated it on stopped responding, and gave me a 403 forbidden error.

This link from MSDN (see the Notes section) helped me to identify that the NTFS permissions were screwed up on the feature folder and files (since I created them through windows explorer). Re-inheriting permissions from the parent “Features” folder solved the problem.

    The very core of your writing appears nice and sits properly with me. Throughout the sentences you actually were able to make me a believer. I however would like more information and would rather have you to create more as often as convenient with you. When you actually accomplish that, I could certainly end up being amazed. I may visit soon to take a look at your updates!
