Topic: Forbidden

I keep on getting Forbidden message when I try to access anything in the folder I extracted....

When I try to access install.php I'm forbidden....

Now, I understand a fair bit about Apache etc but I don't have any directory restrictions set in place so if I create a new folder in root directory, I can still acces its contents without a problem...

The only place I can't access is the folder I exracted from you zipp file..,.

Without being able to access the Install.php page...there's not a lot i can do....

This is a really silly problem I know...

Re: Forbidden

Have you checked the chmod folder permissions? It sounds like read access has been disabled.

Failing that, you could try manually creating the PunBB folder structure and then just copy they PunBB files from the archive into the relevant folders.
