403 access denied

Hi guys

Need help, please! Been trying to figure and work this out all day.

I'm in the middle of moving opencart from one server to another. ALL files have been moved across, and database has been loaded in.

Config files have been edited in public_html and in admin to reflect changes in addresses and such. Upon trying to simply view the website I'm continually presented with access denied, 403.

I've looked at all the permissions and such all are correct. Prior to the move, on the old server, the website was fully operation.

Note: Currently, new address is defined by a IP address rather than a full domain name address. Does this make a difference? Will putting in the full address fix the 403 error?

Cannot for the life of me think of anything else I can do to change and fix this error.

I've tried a fresh install of opencart and this works, so it's not a problem with the server I'm on.

What do you have in your .htaccess? How is it different to the fresh install of OpenCart you did?

So, what is the difference in the most important files: config.php (2x) and .htaccess (if enabled).
You did also not mention which version you are using, with 2.3.x you have also additonal settings in the system/config folder.
