Okay - uploaded backup copies of header.php, footer.php, and config.inc.php.

This got everything working again, to a degree - the header, footer, header insert files were all blank.

However when I try and update admin/gen_display.php I get

Forbidden
You do not have permission to access this document.

Also when I view /admin/phpinfo.php

I get

Forbidden
You do not have permission to access this document.

I can update say admin/features.php without any issues. I cannot see any permissions issues and have re-uploaded the files.

Running

mysql 5.0.22
php 5.1.6


All very strange frown
