Same error for same theme installed in html_public. /sites/default/files/ has .htaccess file, sites/default/ does not. I checked the default drupal that cpanel had installed - same thing: /default/files has .htaccess and /sites/default does not.
File permissions seem correct
dr-xr-xr-x 3 ccsing6 ccsing6 4096 Nov 25 18:37 ../default/
drwxr-xr-x 3 ccsing6 ccsing6 4096 Nov 25 20:24 files/
[ccsing6@ecbiz209 default]$ ls -lda files/.htaccess
-r--r--r-- 1 ccsing6 ccsing6 476 Nov 25 20:24 files/.htaccess
Why won't files displpay. Does it really want a .htaccess file in /sites/default ?

Sorry to hear you are having issues with your Drupal site. You will want to have your .htaccess set to 644 in the root folder. The subfolders do not need to have an additional .htaccess file. If you cannot set the .htaccess file permissions from within your cPanel, then Live Support can make that change for you.
Kindest Regards.
