I am trying to install PHPBB Fully Modded forum system on our network's intranet but I keep running into this issue...

Forbidden

 

You don't have permission to access /forum1994/ on this server.

Apache/2.0.55 (Win32) DAV/2 PHP/5.1.1 Server at localhost Port 80

 

I've checked all the relevant permissons and everything seems fine. I've tried the normal version of PHPBB and a couple other forum software such as Invision, and they all work fine, but I can't seem to figure out why this one keeps giving me no permissons.

 

If you can help me - it'll be greatly appreciated.

Look in the htaccess file in W:/www/ for instructions on how to open the server to others to see.... OR delete it...

I just ran into this today trying to view CakePHP pages.

Ends up the .htaccess file needed a few additions (shown

in bold), which I took from this local wikka page.

Hope this helps, Sincerely, -xs

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /currentfolder/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^(.*/[^\./]*[^/])$ $1/

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ wikka.php?wakka=$1 [QSA,L]

< /IfModule>

 

PS: Searched google for '403 uniform server' to dig up the solution.

Are you using mod_rewrite... cause you only need that code if you are.
