Access to Plesk forbidden

Running Plesk 8.1 @ SuSE Linux 9.3 Professional

After a server crash I recovered the system partition with a working backup from ~14 hours ago.

The restore process completed successfully and everything works fine (http, mysql, ftp, dns, mail, ssh) except the plesk installation.

When trying to access plesk via http://myserver.com:8443 (without httpS, before the crash plesk redirected to the corresponding https url) there´s an 403 error: "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /mod_ssl:error:HTTP-request on this server.".

When trying to access Plesk via the httpS-address (https://myserver.com:8443), theres a default 403-error without the mod_ssl stuff, á la "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access / on this server."

I already tried to CHMOD 665/666/777 the Plesk-Files without success and tried another backup from a working system 3 days before the crash.

I would be happy about every possible solution. Thanks in advance,

D. Christian
