Website down after changing permalinks to postname

just spent quite some time searching on Google and Stack Overflow for my problem, changed the .htaccess already but no changes. I changed the permalink settings to postname, saved, refreshed my site and got the error: Forbidden

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

Apache Server at arnoldnumerouno.de Port 80

After searching I changed the .htaccess to:

SetEnv PHP_VER 5_3
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

--

The page is still down and I can't access the wp-admin to set it to default again.

I really need some help :-( Just spent several hours on writing posts and now the page is down and I have no clue what to do.

Really appreciate any help from you guys, thanks in advance

Try removing:

SetEnv PHP_VER 5_3

Also, make sure that your files and directories have the proper permissions: 755 for directories, 644 for files.

EDIT

Also, try adding the following to the beginning of your .htaccess:

Options +FollowSymLinks

When generating new permalinks, if you have the wrong site url and home url settings, wordpress will give an error like:

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

(...actually it's not finding the directory),

if you've changed them recently, I suggest you check.

to edit site url and home url directly in database use phpmyadmin,

change siteurl and home row in the option table
