title: SoftException in Application.cpp: Could not execute script
body: <p>Errors suddenly occur when I open magento site; every page is blank. There is no error generated in mageto error log file, but in php error log I have found the following:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>SoftException in Application.cpp:641: Could not execute script "/home/public_html/index.php" client denied by server configuration: /home/public_html/app/etc/local.xml</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I searched the web, and applied solutions I found, but have had no success.</p>
  
  <p>I give appropriate file permissions to both files which gives error.</p>
