Is there a restriction concerning ico files on the free web hosting plan? I get this whenever I try to go to the location of my favicon, i've even changed it's name and location multiple times

"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /icon.ico on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.25 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.25 OpenSSL/1.0.0-fips mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at wiccandomain.gi9.co Port 80"

I'm not sure, but I'm on the free web hosting here and I'm not having a problem. Which means there has to be a way to make it work :)

From what you've said, it sounds like it could be a permission issue. Make sure your file permissions are set correctly.

I guess if I can't figure it out I'll just upload the ico file to a different site, but I'd like to figure it out. :p

And how would I do that? .htaccess? That's empty

Error log:

[Sun Dec 22 22:44:47 2013] [error] [client 66.75.252.53] (13)Permission denied: file permissions deny server access: /home/wyvern/public_html/images/favicon.ico

I fixed it, thanks, I figured out how to change the file permissions xD
