I had both joomla and drupal in separate folders within my domain while in development. The joomla site is now "live" for the domain. Accessing the drupal folder doesn't work anymore, resulting in "Forbidden - you don't have permission to access Drupal on this server." I don't want to reinstall Drupal, all the modules plus redo my tutorials again. What should I do and how? Thanks!

This error may be caused by a missing or misconfigured .htaccess file:
You don't have permission to access /drupal/ on this server.The .htaccess filename starts with a . and it may be invisible to your file browser / FTP client.
The last time I saw this error was when the webhost required SymLinksifOwnerMatch instead of FollowSymLinks:

To make this change, replace the "FollowSymLinks" option with "SymLinksifOwnerMatch" and let us know if that fixes the problem.

[SOLVED] Running drupal with Joomla site problems
The problem was solved indirectly when I had problems updating my Joomla site. My host made some adjustments to permissions and both problems were solved.
My host wrote: "The first thing I would question would be your file/directory permissions. The way we run PHP, all directories should be chmod 755, and all files should be chmod 644, regardless of any recommendations by the script author. Some scripts will advise you to use 757 or 777 permissions for writable folders, but those are not required on our servers and can cause permissions problems. I've just run a command over your entire site to ensure that proper permissions are set."
Thanks!
