   I've downloaded and installed WP 3.0.4 and have been able to use all the functions properly. However, after creating a few pages, when I attempt to view them I get the following error message:

   Access forbidden!

   You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

   If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

   Error 403

   Apache/2.0.54 (Debian GNU/Linux) FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_ssl/2.0.54 OpenSSL/0.9.7e

   I am able to view the front page fine, but any attempt to view the subsequent pages (including the blog) results in the error message regardless of which way I try to access them (i.e., thru the menu on the front page or in the page edit mode.

   I see in the error message a reference to "comingtogetherevents.com." That is my website, but currently it is hosted in a different location than where the WP files are currently residing. However, that site has given me a temporary URL and that is what I used to install WP.

   I'm just wondering if it's somehow pointing to the other site where my domain name (comingtogetherevents.com) is hosted, or its some other issue. FWIW, the temp URL I have is http://comingtogethereventscom.cv.siteprotect.net/.

   Whatever the problem is as a novice I would need assistance in fixing it, which means some pretty basic, fourth grade-level instructions. ;>

   Thanks!

   Got this one figured out on my own. It's the Permalinks setting that was the problem. In the default mode there is no issue; when I change it to any of the other settings, it blocks my ability to view the pages.
