Ok, that's something else then. The error message "client denied by
server configuration" seems to indicate that there is a .htaccess file
somewhere in one of these locations:

/home/.sites/143/site2/web/application/config/
/home/.sites/143/site2/web/application/
/home/.sites/143/site2/web/

It perhaps prevents access to the application and/or config directory.
And/or the server isn't configured to allow usage of .htaccess files.
For security reasons they are usually not allowed, because a malicious
user could reconfigure the webserver that way.

To enable usage of .htacces files do this:

Go to "Network Services" / "Web" and tick the checkboxes under
"AllowOverride" for "All", "AuthConfig", "FileInfo", "Indexes", "Limit"
and "Options".

Also make sure that under "Options" the checkboxes for "FollowSymlinks",
"Includes", "Indexes" and "Multiviews" are ticked.
