• Hi there,
    i have recently set a private domain name for my blog, but when i try to access via the domain name i am given the following error

    You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/install.php on this server.

    sallys.me.uk

    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    Many Thanks

    Joe

  • The most likely explanation is that your file permissions are set incorrectly. There’s an explanatory Codex article about just that:

    Hi Dave,

    I am only trying to use this domain to redirect to the WordPress page itself

    There is no website hosted externally

    Thanks

    Joe

    So when someone visits http://sallys.me.uk what do you want to happen? At the moment it looks like an unconfigured WordPress 3.9.1 site.

    Hi there, when using the Sallys.me.uk like I would like it to redirect to sallysrollerdisco.uk.com

    Thanks

    You can have one or many domain names pointing at the same place. Set the nameservers for the domains to point to your hosting server, and set up the hosting server to have the additional domain recorded as an add-on domain. If that’s opaque, your host support team should be able to do this for you.

    If you’ve got two file areas for the two domains and don’t want to change that, then sallys.me.uk need contain only a single file called index.php which contains the following text:

    <?php
      header('Location: http://sallysrollerdisco.uk.com/');
    ?>

    I note that sallysrollerdisco.uk.com is not taken yet, so the above will not work until you have purchased it.

    The Sallys.me.uk is now with WordPress.com, I would like that address to forward to my blog of sallysrollerdisco.wordpress.com
    I have tried nds records etc nothing works

    That makes a big difference. WordPress.com have their own way of doing things so you will need to contact wordpress.com support.
