Access Forbidden 403 error after installation
Hi,
I tried searching for the similar posts about this particular 403 problem on this forum and also read through FAQs that I thought might cover this issue. And finally I’m here asking for help :-P
I’ve run an installation of textpattern-4.0.3 on my PC till today I decided to start off a new development site on my laptop by downloading textpattern-4.0.5. I run on xampp and went through all the setup just as I did long time ago on my PC. But when I try going to mysite/textpattern to complete the initial setup, I always have this “Access Forbidden 403 Error”.
Note that I’ve tried tweaking .htaccess as suggested but in vain. Any one has any idea? I’d really appreciate.
Cheers,
Jay

what do you have in your <directory> directives in your httpd-vhosts.conf ?
should be something like
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride FileInfo
Order allow,deny
Allow from allLast edited by iblastoff (2008-01-09 20:16:07)

Re: Access Forbidden 403 error after installation
Yep I have exactly in my httpd-vhosts.conf what you’ve shown here.
And I fixed the problem by changing the backslashes to forward ones in the directory path, although technically I doubt that made any difference. I should’ve noticed this earlier since I always tend to use backslashes. But thanks for your reply to help!
