I am having a problem with drupal 5 hosted in root on hostgator.
What i wanted was to setup an addon domain on my primary domain to host another site and cms there.

So this is what i want to do

public_html -> drupal hosted here(main primary domain)
public_html/site1 -> i wanna setup a addon domain to this directory with wordpress installed here(not drupal)

Now i followed the normal procedure which basically is a new folder creation, subdomain, and the domain that adds on to subdomain(all this is automatically handled on hostgaor.)

Only it does not work. I got a 403 error.
Hostgator support informs me this:

This is not a server side error. The site show 403 as :

Directory index forbidden by rule: /home/artistic/public_html/digf1/

The following is from your .htaccess :

# Don't show directory listings for URLs which map to a directory.
Options -Indexes

# Follow symbolic links in this directory.
Options +FollowSymLinks

# Customized error messages.
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

# Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex index.php

Wat change do i have to do in htaccess to allow me to do what i want to do?
Thanks in advance.

I also had some troubles fixing multisite install. Make sure
1. you have all directories in /sites: /sites/default AND /sites/site1
2. Copy my htacces file: http://www.drupal.be/node/641 (in Dutch) (well, you can delete all those lines that I've commented out)

Can you be more specific about the error? You write:

"Only it does not work. I got a 403 error."

What does not work and what gives you a 403 error? yoursite.com? subdomain.yoursite.com?
Have you already a working installation of drupal or just uploaded it?
Have you uploaded wordpress in the subdomain but you can't install it?
