Bigshrimp Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cms/install.php on this server. Please help. My first test of this CMS system and it didn`t start well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Can you give some information about the system? Make sure it at leasts meets the requirements http://processwire.com/docs/tutorials/installation-moving-and-troubleshooting/page2 Was there an existing htaccess file in the cms directory?

Bigshrimp Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 I just extract the zip folder and uploded the files to a sub folder on my ftp. I checked the permissions and it is right 755 on folders and 644 to the files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Can you load up other files from the PW root folder in your browser? Please check the permission of the install.php file itself and make sure it matches the permission (eg 644) and also the owner and group of the index.php file - since you got the Get Started button to load I am guessing the index.php file loaded ok. Do you have any other sites running on that server? Any chance their could be some modsecurity or htaccess rules that are blocking the install.php file? Can you access it if you temporarily rename it to something else like test.php? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigshrimp Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 I tried on my other domain with better success. But now there was a 500 Internal Server Error instead when I tried to access the admin area or the site.

adrian Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 For 500 errors, take a read of this: http://processwire.com/docs/tutorials/troubleshooting-guide/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigshrimp Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Now I have going true that list with no result. On some points even the homepage got 500 error but nothing helpt on the hole site. Solution was at the bottom in .htaccess file: (I changed the # as it says) # RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?it=$1 [L,QSA] # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # 500 NOTE: If using VirtualDocumentRoot: comment out the one above and use this one instead. # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?it=$1 [L,QSA] 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Glad you sorted it out - hope the rest of your PW goes more smoothly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Glad it worked! Was this with a particular hosting company? If so, it is worth noting in case anyone else has an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
