I am attempting to test command line configuration.

I've setup everything according to
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Command-line+Script+Configuration

But whenever I try to run a script from the browser I get

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/ on this server.

I've also tried doing it from sh prompt but same 403 error

I'm using the site admin user and password and so I can't see why it's not working.

I know these are correct because if I enter something different I get a different error:

ERROR: Invalid username and/or password

What could be wrong?

I've changed permissions on bin and the php scripts to 777 but still get the error.

I think it may be in our php.ini. I'm checking with our web host to see if they have put in some special security.
